Texas International Inheritance Lawyer: International Estates Are Becoming More Common

Texas International Inheritance Lawyer: As More People Are Living Abroad and Owning Real Property in Multiple Countries International Estates Are Becoming More Common By Texas International Inheritance Lawyer

Many families have spread out throughout the United States and around the World.  It is extremely common for people to live abroad and/or to own real property in multiple countries.  However, when a person living aboard or owning property in multiple countries dies or becomes incompetent, it can often be a challenge to move property in multiple countries through probate.

International Inheritance Lawyer, Jason S. Coomer, has extensive experience in practicing Texas and international probate law.  He handles inheritance and probate issues for international clients living abroad including moving Texas real property in international estates.  He also represents Texas executors, trustees, guardians, and administrators that need to transfer real property in other countries.  For more information on International Probate, please feel free to go to the following web page Texas International Probate Lawyer.

International Probate Issues For Heirs and Beneficiaries Living Abroad 

For the family member that lives out of the country and has never been through the Texas probate process, it can often be challenging to understand what should be done under Texas probate law.  At a time when they want to grieve the loss of their loved one, they are often forced to deal with difficult issues including:

    1) Who should be in control of their loved ones' estate?
    2) What needs to be done to have an administrator or executor appointed?
    3) What are probate & non-probate property?
    4)  What should be done to protect estate property?
    5)  Is a Will necessary?
    6)  What can be done with Estate property?  Can it be sold or transferred?

When faced with these decisions, it is often helpful to speak with and hire a Texas international probate lawyer to help take care of probate issues.  A Texas international probate lawyer can help "out of country" family members through the probate process and help move an estate through probate.  Texas International Probate Lawyer, Jason Coomer, commonly works with out of state family, heirs, lawyers, and beneficiaries to guide them through the Texas probate process.  In doing so, he works to protect the wishes of loved ones that have passed on, the best interests of his clients, and to coordinate efforts with foreign co-counsel.

Pancreatic Cancer Lawyer: Diabetes Pancreatic Cancer Lawsuits Are Being Filed Against Drug Manufacturers by Pancreatic Cancer Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Pancreatic Cancer Lawyer: Diabetes Drugs in the Incretin Mimetic Class May Cause An Increased Risk of Pancreatic Cancer

Pancreatic Cancer Lawsuits are being filed by diabetics that have been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and families of diabetics that have died from pancreatic cancer.  These lawsuits include persons that were taking diabetes drugs in the incretin mimetic class.  These incretin diabetes drugs include exenatide (Byetta, Bydureon), liraglutide (Victoza), sitagliptin (Januvia, Janumet, Janumet XR, Juvisync), saxagliptin (Onglyza, Kombiglyze XR), alogliptin (Nesina, Kazano, Oseni), and linagliptin (Tradjenta, Jentadueto). These drugs work by mimicking the incretin hormones that the body usually produces naturally to stimulate the release of insulin in response to a meal. They are used along with diet and exercise to lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes.  Many of these incretin diabetes drugs already include a black box warning regarding thyroid cancer risk, but evidence is growing that these drugs may also create an increased risk of pancreatic cancer.

People that are taking incretin diabetes drugs including: Januvia, Janument, Victoza, Byetta, Onglyza, Tradjenta,  Oseni, and other diabetes drugs should be aware of the cancer health risks. If you have been taking a diabetes drug and have been diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer or you have lost a loved one that was taking a diabetes drug and was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, please report the adverse action to the prescribing medical doctor and FDA as soon as possible.  Please also feel free to contact a pancreatic cancer lawyer regarding a potential pancreatic cancer lawsuit.

Januvia Pancreatic Cancer Lawsuits and Janumet Pancreatic Cancer Lawsuits

The diabetes drugs, Januvia and Janumet, may cause an increased risk of pancreatic cancer in patients using Januvia and Janumet.  If you have lost a loved one who was taking these drugs and they died from Pancreatic Cancer or have suffered acute pancreatitis, hemorrhagic pancreatitis, accute necrotizing pancreatitis, or pancreas cancer; and have been using Januvia, please report the adverse action to the prescribing medical doctor as soon as possible.  For more information on Januvia and Janumet Pancreatic Cancer Lawsuits, please go to the following web page on Januvia Pancreatic Cancer Lawsuit Information and Janumet Pancreatic Cancer Lawsuit Information.

Byetta Pancreatic Cancer Lawsuits and Byetta Thyroid Cancer Lawsuits

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 Byetta Pancreatic Cancer Lawsuits and Byetta Thyroid Cancer Lawsuits, please go to the following web page on Byetta Pancreatic Cancer Lawsuits and Exenatide Pancreatic Cancer Lawsuits.

Victoza Pancreatic Cancer Lawsuits

The consumer group, Public Citizen, has filed a petition with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requesting that the agency immediately remove the diabetes drug, Victoza, from the market because it puts patients at a higher risk of thyroid cancer, pancreatitis, serious allergic reactions and kidney failure that outweigh any documented clinical benefits.  Public Citizen claims that the diabetes drug, Victoza, has a number of possible side effects including pancreatic cancer. This side effect is extremely dangerous, because once a person has pancreatic cancer and that cancer spreads, a patient stands just a 1.8% chance of surviving for longer than five years.

If you have lost a loved one from Pancreatic Cancer or have suffered acute pancreatitis, hemorrhagic pancreatitis, accute necrotizing pancreatitis, or pancreas cancer; and have been using Victoza or another diabetes drug, please report the adverse action to the prescribing medical doctor as soon as possible.  For more Victoza Pancreatic Cancer Lawsuit, Victoza Cancer Death Lawsuit, or Diabetes Drug Pancreas Cancer Lawsuit information, please go to the following web page on Victoza Pancreatic Cancer Lawsuits and Victoza Cancer Death Lawsuits.
