Texas Wealth Transfer Lawyer: Helps Families Transfer Wealth Through Inheritance and Probate by Texas Wealth Transfer Lawyer

Many families lose a vast amount of wealth when a loved one dies.  Family wealth can often be lost to the government, to corporations, or to opportunists.  Reasons for the loss of family wealth can include lack of knowledge regarding assets, lack of wealth to move assets, disputes between family members, delays after a loved one passes on, and lack of proximity to the loved one's estate.

Lack of Knowledge Can Often Result in the Loss of Family Wealth

In many instances, people are reluctant to share information concerning their finances with other people including family members.  Further, many people, especially elderly persons and persons dealing with significant health issues, will start to lose track of their assets and will not keep accurate records of all of their assets.  The tendency to keep finances private combined with inaccurate records can often cause assets to become lost.  Accurate records and sharing information to trusted people can often help prevent loss of family wealth.  Additionally, hiring a Texas Inheritance Lawyer can often help locate assets and transfer wealth after the death of a loved one.

Lack of Resources Can Often Result in the Loss of Family Wealth

In other instances, heirs and beneficiaries do not have sufficient wealth to move assets through the probate process.  This is particularly true when there is no valid will and many of the assets will need to be transferred through a suit to determine heirs. In these situations, the transfer of assets can cost several thousands of dollars and can cause wealth to become lost because heirs are not able to afford to transfer assets.  Often for more significant amounts of wealth including real property, a Texas Contingent Probate Lawyer can help transfer the wealth to rightful heirs and beneficiaries preventing the loss of family wealth.

 Inheritance Disputes and Contested Probate Matter Can Result in the Loss of Family Wealth

Wealth can also be lost when disputes over inheritance arise between potential heirs and beneficiaries.  In these situations, some heirs or beneficiaries cannot afford to go through a contested legal battle to claim their rightful inheritance.  However, in some instances a Texas Contingent Probate Lawyer can take a contested probate case on a contingent contract and help prevent the loss of family wealth.  In other situations, it is necessary to hire an experienced Texas Probate Litigation Lawyer on an hourly or hybrid contract to prevent wealth from being lost.

Delays and Lack of Proximity Can Often Result in the Loss of Family Wealth

The transfer of real estate, bank accounts, retirement funds, oil royalties, life insurance, and other wealth through probate can often be difficult for a grieving family to accomplish.  This is especially true when the family does not live in close proximity to their lost loved one.  In many of these instances, families will delay the transfer of this wealth and can often forget about some assets allowing the wealth to become lost.  In many situations, hiring a local Texas Probate Inheritance Lawyer and Texas Wealth Transfer Lawyer will help a family protect its wealth and limit the necessity for travel to Texas to handle probate issues.

Byetta Cancer Health Alert: Persons Taking Byetta and other Diabetes Drugs Should Be Aware of an Increased Risk of Cancer by Texas Byetta Cancer Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Byetta Cancer Health Alert: Persons Taking Byetta and other Diabetes Drugs Should Be Aware of an Increased Risk of Cancer and Consult Their Physician Regarding Potential Thyroid Cancer and Pancreas Cancer Protocols by Texas Byetta Cancer Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Byetta and other diabetes drugs have been linked to an increased risk of thyroid cancer and pancreatic cancer.  Persons taking diabetes drugs and medical providers that are prescribing diabetes drugs should be aware of thyroid cancer risks and pancreatic cancer risks as well as be aware of cancer detection protocols.  Early detection of cancer is essential to preventing the spread of cancer and important to surviving cancer.  Persons that have been taking diabetic drugs and have been diagnosed with thyroid cancer or pancreatic cancer should report the cancer to both their medical provider and the FDA.  Families of loved ones who took diabetes drugs and lost their lives to thyroid cancer or pancreatic cancer should also report the cancer to the FDA.

In addition to reporting thyroid cancer and pancreatic cancer caused by diabetes drugs, it is important that cancer survivors and families that have lost loved ones to diabetes drug cancers file lawsuits to prevent large drug companies from continuing to profit from selling dangerous drugs.  For more information on diabetes drug cancer lawsuits, please contact Diabetes Drug Cancer Lawyer and Byetta Cancer Lawyer, Jason S.

Pancreatic Cancer Including Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma and other Forms of Exocrine Pancreas Cancers Are Difficult to Diagnose and Are Often Not Diagnosed Until Late in the Course of the Disease
 

Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death for both men and women and is one of the most deadly of all types of cancer. This year approximately 45,000 Americans will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and about 38,000 will die from it.  One of the reasons that pancreatic cancer is so deadly is that it it difficult to diagnose and the diagnosis is often made late in the course of the disease.  Early detection of pancreatic cancer is essential and will greatly improve a person's chances of surviving the disease. As such, people that have taken diabetes drugs, especially those with symptoms of weight loss, dark urine and clay-colored stools, back pain, and jaundice, should seek advice from a qualified medical professional as to if they may have pancreatic cancer and what symptoms they should be aware of to detect any early onset of pancreatic cancer.

Symptoms of pancreatic cancer can include: dark urine and clay-colored stools, fatigue and weakness, jaundice (a yellow color in the skin, mucus membranes, or eyes), loss of appetite and weight loss, nausea and vomiting, pain or discomfort in the upper part of the belly or abdomen, back pain, blood clots, diarrhea, and indigestion.

Pancreatic cancer is often not detected early on and is often advanced when it is first found.  As such, ninety-five percent of the people diagnosed with this cancer will not be alive 5 years later.  Some patients have pancreatic cancer that can be surgically removed are cured. However, in more than 80% of patients the tumor has already spread and cannot be completely removed at the time of diagnosis.  In the few cases where pancreatic tumors can be removed by surgery. The standard surgical procedure to remove pancreatic tumors is called a Whipple procedure (pancreatoduodenectomy or pancreaticoduodenectomy). This surgery should be done by an experienced surgeon and at a medical center that performs the procedure often. Some studies suggest that the Whipple procedure is best performed at hospitals that do more than five of these surgeries per year.

When the tumor has not spread out of the pancreas, but cannot be removed, radiation therapy and chemotherapy together may be recommended. When the tumor has spread (metastasized) to other organs such as the liver, chemotherapy alone is usually used. The standard chemotherapy drug is gemcitabine, but other drugs may be used. Gemcitabine can help about 25% of patients.

Patients whose tumor cannot be totally removed, but who have a blockage of the tubes that transport bile (biliary obstruction) must have that blockage relieved. There are two approaches including surgery and placement of a tiny metal tube (biliary stent) during ERCP.

Managing pain and other symptoms is an important part of treating advanced pancreatic cancer. Palliative care tams and hospice can help with pain and symptom management, and provide psychological support for patients and their families during the illness. 

Thyroid Cancer Information and Thyroid Cancer Symptoms
 

More than 200,000 people were newly diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2012.  Recent scientific studies have shown that some of these people may have gotten thyroid cancer from taking a diabetes drug.  One such diabetes drug is Byetta.  Recent studies have shown that Byetta increases the risk of thyroid cancer.  Further, many lawsuits are currently being filed alleging that the maker of Byetta failed to provide adequate warnings to consumers and the medical community regarding this risk of thyroid cancer.

Thyroid cancer occurs in the cells of the thyroid.  The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located at the base of your neck, just below your Adam's apple. Your thyroid produces hormones that regulate your heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature and weight. Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine cancer. It is a malignant tumor or growth originating within the thyroid gland, also called thyroid carcinoma.

The prognosis for any individual with thyroid cancer depends on several factors. These include the type of thyroid cancer, the tumor size, whether the disease has spread (metastasized) to other parts of the body (especially distant sites), and the patients’ age at the time of diagnosis. Thyroid cancer is usually highly treatable when found early and is usually painless and without symptoms in its early stages. Unless there is an obvious neck mass that can be seen, most nodules are detected by chance during a routine physical examination or during a doctor visit for an unrelated purpose.

Some thyroid cancer symptoms include:

    Hoarseness that has no known cause and does not go away

    Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath

    Difficulty swallowing or an unusual sensation (a “lump”) when swallowing

    Nodule (lump) or growth in the neck

    An abnormally large lymph node (a “swollen gland”)that fails to spontaneously shrink over a few months' time
