Where should I go to qualify as a personal representative on someone's estate?
You may go to the circuit court clerk's office of the jurisdiction where the decedent had a known place of residence, where the decedent owned real estate, or, if none, where the decedent died or owned any property. The Office of the Clerk of Circuit Court of the city of Roanoke is located in the Roanoke City Courthouse, on the 3rd floor.
