Updated § 54.1-2982 definitions to clarify that 'record' includes electronic or other media and that 'sign' includes attaching electronic symbols or processes to authenticate documents.

Added transitional provision (§ 64.2-468) stating the new electronic will provisions apply to decedents who die on or after July 1, 2026.
