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

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. Coomer, for a free case review of a Diabetes Drug Cancer Lawsuit.

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

Texas Hospital Death Lawyer: Deadly Mistakes In Hospitals Can Be The Basis of Medical Malpractice Lawsuits By Texas Hospital Death Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Texas Hospital Death Lawyer: Deadly Mistakes In Hospitals Can Be The Basis of Medical Malpractice Lawsuits By Texas Hospital Death Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Some hospitals have become extremely dangerous places to be.  Overworked staff and faulty equipment can often cause deadly mistakes that can result in the death of a loved one.  Anyone that is going into a hospital should research which hospital provides the best case and have someone help look after them while they are heavily medicated and/or unconscious in the hospital.   

Families that have lost a loved one from a deadly hospital mistake or careless physician should obtain their loved one's medical records and make sure a proper investigation is made of the hospital mistake. A proper investigation of a deadly hospital mistake and filing a fatal medical malpractice lawsuit can often ensure that a hospital corrects faulty policies to help avoid future fatal mistakes. For more information on Texas hospital death lawsuits, military hospital death lawsuits, and other hospital death lawsuits, please follow the hyperlinks on this post.

If you need a Texas Hospital Death Lawyer with knowledge of Federal Hospital Death Lawsuits and Texas Hospital Death Lawsuits, please feel free to contact Fatal Mistake Medical Malpractice Lawyer, Jason S. Coomer.

Communication With Doctors and Nurses Can Often Help Prevent Some Deadly Mistakes

Unfortunately, medical mistakes happen when doctors and nurses get too busy, are understaffed, are under the influence of drugs, or are just not paying attention.  As medical budgets go down and healing people becomes more of a for profit business, cost cutting measures are causing more medical mistakes.  Overworked doctors, residents, and nurses are much more likely to make mistakes than well rested health care professionals.

Medical mistakes also happen more often when no one is watching.  It is extremely important when you are in the hospital to have someone that is with you and watching out for your well being.  This is especially true if you have an allergy to certain types of medicines.  Communication with your health care professionals is also important and can greatly limit medical mistakes.

Texas Construction Fall Lawyer: Construction Falls Are a Leading Cause of Fatal Work Place Accidents by Texas Construction Fall Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Texas Construction Fall Lawyer: Defective Scaffolding, Lack of Proper Safety Equipment, and Negligent Construction Site Safety Managers Are All Potential Causes of Fatal Construction Site Accidents by Texas Construction Fall Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Texas has a multi-billion dollar construction industry that has been able to shift many laws against injured workers and the families of workers that have been killed in construction site accidents.  As such, instead of improving safety on construction sites, many general contractors are cutting corners on construction safety, destroying evidence of inadequate safety, and using legal technicalities to fight having to compensate injured workers and grieving families.  By hiring a Texas serious fall lawyer, Texas construction equipment accident lawyer, or Texas accident death lawyer, to investigate a fatal construction accident or serious injury accident, a family can often determine what potential compensation may be available under Texas law and avoid many of the legal traps that have been created by the construction industry.

Serious Injury and Fatal Construction Falls Can Be Caused by Defective Scaffolding, Lack of Proper Safety Equipment, and Negligent Construction Site Safety Managers

An increasing number of construction workers are being seriously injured and/or killed by construction falls caused by defective scaffolding, lack of proper safety equipment, and negligent construction site safety managers.  The families of construction workers who are seriously injured or killed at a construction site should make sure that the construction accident is timely and properly investigated to make sure that the negligence does not occur again and that the responsible parties are thoroughly investigated and made to pay any and all compensation that is required under Texas law.  Many of these claims have a two year statute of limitations, but it is important for the family to begin the investigation as soon as possible to prevent the general contractor, insurance adjusters, or others from destroying or removing important evidence.

OSHA Has Been Gutted Over The Last 16 Years and Often Does Not Have The Resources To Fully Investigate Construction Work Place Deaths

Since the creation of OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) in 1970, the number of work place deaths and serious injuries have decreased.  However, over the last 16 years OSHA has been gutted and safety has been put on the back burner.  In many situations, OSHA has actually started blaming workers instead of employers for on the job deaths.  They have changed how work place deaths are tabulated and have allowed work places all over the United States to become more dangerous.  They also do very limited investigations after a death compared to the OSHA of the past.

Under the guise of limiting red tape and regulations, OSHA no longer protects workers and ensures that work places are safe as they did in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s.  As such, it has fallen on work place accidental death lawyers and the families of those wrongfully killed, to investigate work place accidents and employer negligence that have killed employees.

Texas Inheritance Lawyer: Texas Inheritance Can Often Get Trapped Requiring A Texas Probate Lawyer to Free Real Estate and Other Inheritance by Texas Inheritance Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Texas Inheritance Including Mineral Interests, Bank Accounts, Stock, and Other Property Can Often Get Stuck After A Loved One Passes Requiring a Texas Inheritance Lawyer to Help Free Assets by Texas Inheritance Lawyer Jason S. Coomer 

In some situations family inheritance gets stuck in probate before it can be transferred or collected by a loved one's rightful heirs or beneficiaries.  Several reasons can cause assets to become stuck during the inheritance process including lack of information regarding the assets or Texas probate process, missing heirs or beneficiaries, fighting heirs and beneficiaries, proximity of heirs and beneficiaries, and lack of resources to move inheritance through the Texas probate process. A good Texas inheritance lawyer can often help resolve many of these issues allowing inherited property to become unstuck and to be passed to rightful heirs and beneficiaries.

Lack of Information Regarding Inheritance and Probate Assets

The issue of lack of information regarding inheritance and probate assets can often cause inheritance to become stuck or even lost.  Communication, research, and obtaining possession of crucial documents are typically the best method of resolving this issue.  Communication by the decedent or the loved ones of the decedent can often prevent assets from becoming stuck or lost.  By leaving an inventory of assets or at least some documents with an inventory of assets, a person can often prevent the loss of their assets after they pass.  However, in some situations the person that has died was battling significant health problems prior to their death, died unexpectedly, or became incompetent prior to their passing.  In these situations, it is often necessary to piece together assets through collection of documents and research.

Missing Heirs and Beneficiaries

  

The issue of missing heirs and beneficiaries can also often cause inheritance to become stuck.  In these situations, it is often necessary to file pleadings with the court and have an ad litem appointed to represent or search for missing heirs or beneficiaries.  These appointments can often become expensive and require substantial resources, however, if there are sufficient assets in the estate it is often worth the time and effort.  Further, in some instances a Texas inheritance lawyer can handle these cases on a contingent contract that can often alleviate some of the expense of the probate process. 

Fighting Heirs and Beneficiaries (Contested Probate)

When heirs and beneficiaries start fighting over inheritance, it can also cause the inheritance to become stuck.  In these situations, it is often necessary for Texas inheritance lawyers to represent all parties to help resolve issues and conflicts.  These contested cases can often be extremely expensive, especially, if the parties are not willing to agree to certain issues and force decisions to be made by a Judge or Jury.

The Proximity of Heirs and Beneficiaries

Often families do not live in the same city or state or sometimes even in the same country.  In these situations it is often necessary to hire a local Texas inheritance lawyer to help probate an estate and transfer inheritance.  In these situations, the heir or beneficiary can sometimes transfer inheritance without ever coming to Texas or with one or two trips to Texas.

Lack of Resources and Contingent Contracts

In some situations, heirs and beneficiaries cannot afford the cost of probate and other transfer costs.  In these situations, a Texas Contingent Probate Lawyer or Texas Contingent Death Benefit Lawyer that works on a percentage of the estate property can help heirs and beneficiaries transfer estate property to rightful heirs and beneficiaries. In these situations, the Texas Contingent Probate Lawyer or Texas Contingent Death Benefit Lawyer will typically need to see that there are actual significant assets in the estate and who the rightful heirs and beneficiaries are of the estate.  In these cases, bank statements, life insurance policies, royalty statements, mutual fund statements, retirement fund statements, real property deeds, property tax information, and other evidence of the estate assets can be useful in determining the approximate value of the estate and if a contingent contract for probating the estate can be viable.

Causes of Pancreatic Cancer: Changes in DNA Caused By Drugs May Cause Pancreatic Cancer by Diabetic Pancreatic Cancer Lawyer

Causes of Pancreatic Cancer: Diabetics and Health Care Providers Prescribing Diabetes Drugs Should Be Aware That Some Diabetes Medications Can Cause An Increased Risk of Pancreatic Cancer by Diabetic Pancreatic Cancer Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

Though scientists still do not know the exact cause of all cases of pancreatic cancer, they have found several risk factors that can make a person more likely to get this disease. Recent research has that several diabetes drugs may cause an increased risk of pancreatic cancer.  These diabetes drugs include Januvia, Janument, Victoza, Byetta, Onglyza, Tradjenta, Bydureon, Oseni, and other diabetes drugs.  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.  

For persons that have been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer or families that have a loved one that has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and was taking diabetic drugs, please feel free to send an e-mail message to Pancreatic Cancer Lawyer Jason Coomer.

Causes of Pancreatic Cancer: Understanding DNA May Be The Key to Determining Causes of Cancer

Researchers have made great progress in understanding how certain changes in DNA can cause normal cells to become cancerous. DNA is the chemical in each cell that carries our genes — the instructions for how our cells function. We look like our parents because they are the source of our DNA. But DNA affects more than the way we look. Some genes contain instructions for controlling when our cells grow and divide. Certain genes that promote cell division are called oncogenes. Others that slow down cell division or cause cells to die at the right time are called tumor suppressor genes. Cancers can be caused by DNA mutations (defects) that turn on oncogenes or turn off tumor suppressor genes.

Several cancer family syndromes have been found in which inherited DNA mutations cause a very high risk of developing certain cancers. In some of these, there is an increased risk of getting pancreatic cancer. Researchers have characterized many of these DNA changes in the past few years. Most often, DNA mutations of oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes related to cancers of the pancreas occur after you are born, rather than having been inherited. These acquired mutations may result from cancer-causing drugs or chemicals in our environment.

Cause of Thyroid Cancer: Diabetes Drug, Radiation, and Genetic Predisposition Can Cause An Increase Risk of Thyroid Cancer by Thyroid Cancer Attorney Jason Coomer

Cause of Thyroid Cancer: The Diabetes Drug Byetta Has Been Linked To An Increased Risk of Thyroid Cancer by Thyroid Cancer Attorney Jason S. Coomer

Recent scientific studies have shown that the diabetes drug, Byetta, may cause an increased risk of thyroid cancer.  Persons taking Byetta should be aware of this potential thyroid cancer risk factor as well as other potential risk factors including: a family history of goiter, exposure to high levels of radiation, and certain hereditary syndromes.

Persons taking Byetta as well as their medical providers should be aware of potential thyroid cancer symptoms including:

1. Developing a lump or swelling in your neck (most common symptom).
2. Pain in your neck and sometimes in your ears.
3. Trouble swallowing.
4. Trouble breathing or have constant wheezing.
5. Voice may become hoarse.
6. A frequent cough that is not related to a cold or allergies.

Persons with multiple risk factors should make sure that their medical provider is aware of the potential risks and discuss their optimal treatment plans for early detection of thyroid cancer as well as treatment of diabetes.

Through early detection of thyroid cancer, most people are able to seek treatment for thyroid cancer and prevent the cancer from spreading.  For more information on this topic, please read go to Byetta Cancer Law: An Informational Website About Byetta, Cancer, and the Law.  

The Thyroid Secretes Hormones Influencing Metabolism, Development, and Temperature

"The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland that sits low on the front of the neck. Your thyroid lies below your Adam’s apple, along the front of the windpipe. The thyroid has two side lobes, connected by a bridge (isthmus) in the middle. When the thyroid is its normal size, you can’t feel it.
Brownish-red in color, the thyroid is rich with blood vessels. Nerves important for voice quality also pass through the thyroid." WebMD

"The thyroid secretes several hormones, collectively called thyroid hormones. The main hormone is thyroxine, also called T4. Thyroid hormones act throughout the body, influencing metabolism, growth and development, and body temperature. During infancy and childhood, adequate thyroid hormone is crucial for brain development." WebMD

 Designation of a Medical Advocate or a Health Care Decision Maker During a Hospital Stay and Effective Communication with Military Health Care Providers Can Help Prevent Some VA Medical Mistakes

It is extremely important when you are in the hospital to have someone that is with you to help watch out for your well being.  This is especially true if you have an allergy to certain types of medicines, are going to be unconscious or under anesthesia, or on strong pain killers.  In such situations, it is typically a good idea to have a person that you trust to be your health care decision maker with a valid HIPPA Authorization, Medical Power of Attorney, Power of Attorney, and other necessary documents.  

Veterans have a right to express their preferences about future medical care in an advance directive. This includes the right to name a health care agent who will make health care decisions on their behalf if they can no longer communicate for themselves. We will respect these preferences.

If you are asked to make health care decisions for a Veteran in VHA, the treatment team will offer you: 

• Treatment options based on the Veteran's unique medical circumstances and needs.
• Information you can understand about the benefits and risks of these treatment options.

A health care decision maker generally has the same rights and responsibilities as the Veteran would have in making treatment decisions.

• A health care decision maker may agree to or refuse any treatment option offered by the treatment team. Refusing treatment will not affect the Veteran's right to future care.
• A health care decision maker's decision about whether to accept or refuse treatments must be based on what the health care decision maker knows the Veteran would want. If the health care decision maker does not know what the Veteran would want, the treatment team is available to help consider what decisions are in the Veteran's best interest.

Overall, communication with your health care professionals is important and can greatly limit medical mistakes.
