Texas Property Inheritance Lawyer Helps Heirs, Beneficiaries, and Families Sell, Claim, and Transfer Texas Houses, Businesses, and other Texas Inherited Real Property by Texas Property Inheritance Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

After a family member dies, their real property or business can become stuck in the inheritance process and if proper action is not taken the wealth can be lost to foreclosure, taxes, competitors, non-family members, family members who are not entitled to the property, or the State of Texas. For more information about selling, claiming, or transferring Texas property inheritance, please go to the following web pages:   Texas Real Estate Partition Lawyer and Texas Forced Sale Lawyer Information, Texas Land Partition Lawyer Information, and Texas Stressed Property Lawyer Information.

The Lack of Proper Estate Planning Can Often Cause Real Property, Businesses, and Other Estate Property to Become Stuck Through the Texas Probate Process Requiring A Texas Property Inheritance Lawyer

Many people do not like to think about their own death and do not have a valid Will or Trust.  Others try to save money by writing their own Wills with a "do it yourself" Will Kit.  Unfortunately, many of these "do it yourself" Wills and Hand Written Wills are done incorrectly and are not valid.  Others go to a bank or an estate planning lawyer and obtain Trusts that they do not fully understand.  In many of these situations, the Trusts are not properly funded or updated and significant property is left out.  
In all of these situations, improper estate planning can cause wealth including real property and businesses to be trapped or lost. 

Improper estate planning is extremely problematic when a person with a business, a house, a second home, a vacation home, mineral interests, or other significant wealth dies or becomes incapacitated as large amounts of wealth can become stuck.  In these situations, families and beneficiaries often lack the information and resources they need to identify all sources of wealth and revenue streams as there is no accurate inventory or accounting of the deceased person's wealth.  It is also common for vultures including caretakers, health care providers, banks, financial managers, oil companies, and other opportunists to start taking wealth.   Typically, in situations where improper estate planning has been done on a large estate, a Texas Property Inheritance Lawyer is needed to help locate and identify assets as well as determine how to claim, sell, and transfer these assets.

Many families have spread out throughout the United States and around the World.  For the family member that lives out of the state (or 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 interstate probate lawyer to help take care of Texas probate issues.  A Texas interstate probate lawyer can help out of state family members through the probate process and help move an estate through probate.  Texas Interstate 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 out of state co-counsel.

Texas Accidental Fire Lawyer Handles Texas Residential Fire Lawsuits, Texas Smoke Inhalation Lawsuits, and Other Accidental Fire Claims by Texas Accidental Fire Lawyer

Texas Accidental Fire Lawyer Handles Texas House Fire Lawsuits, Texas Residential Fire Lawsuits, Texas Smoke Inhalation Lawsuits, Texas Serious Burn Lawsuits, and Other Accident Fire Claims by Texas Accidental Fire Lawyer Jason S. Coomer

In the United States, each year over 30,000 people are killed or seriously injured by fire and smoke inhalation.  Many of these fires are the result of negligence or defective products, that could have been easily prevented.   In  handling Texas Fatal House Fire Lawsuits, Texas Serious Burn Lawsuits, Texas Apartment and Condo Fire Lawsuits, and Texas Smoke Inhalation Lawsuits, it is important to remember that a fatal house fire or serious burn fire can be the result of defective products, careless workers, negligent property owners, defective water heaters, defective gas cans, failure of products to have child proofing, defective wiring, defective appliances, negligence maintenance, and many other negligent actions.  To determine the cause of the fire and/or explosion, it is important to speak with witnesses and fire investigators as well as to obtain any photos or video of the fire and any and all documents related to fire.  For more information on this topic please go to the following web pages: Texas Serious Burn Lawyer InformationTexas Fatal House Fire Lawyer Information, Texas Apartment and Condo Fire Lawyer Information, and Texas Smoke Inhalation Lawyer Information.

Smoke Inhalation Can Cause Death or Severe Injuries

Smoke inhalation from an accidental fire can cause difficulty breathing, hypoxia, carbon monoxide poisoning, and other health issues that can result in serious injuries or even death.  In handling Texas house fires lawsuits, Texas apartment fire lawsuits, and other Texas residential fire lawsuits as well as on Texas industrial explosion lawsuits; Texas smoke inhalation lawyers work with fire experts to determine the cause and origin of fires; medical professionals to prove up necessary medical treatment for those injured in fires; and insurance companies, witnesses, families, and parties to seek compensation for those injured by accidental fires.

Smoke inhalation occurs when a person breathes in smoke or the products of combustion during a fire.  The fire not only uses the surrounding oxygen in the air taking the oxygen that humans need to breathe, but through burning or combustion (the rapid breakdown of a substance by heat) creates smoke which is a mixture of heated particles and gases that are created by burning.

It is impossible to predict the exact composition of smoke produced by a residential fire or industrial fire as every accident fire is different.  The products being burned, the temperature of the fire, and the amount of oxygen available to the fire all make a difference in the type of smoke produced. This is especially true when furniture, appliances, and other items made up of plastic or other chemicals is burned.  The resulting smoke can be filled with irritants or toxins and result in serious respiratory problems or even death.

Smoke inhalation can damage the body by simple asphyxiation (lack of oxygen), chemical irritation, chemical asphyxiation, or a combination of these.  Combustion can use up the oxygen near the fire and lead to death when there is no oxygen for a person to breathe.  Smoke itself can also contain products that do not cause direct harm to a person, but they take up the space that is needed for oxygen. Carbon dioxide acts in this way.

Combustion can also result in the formation of chemicals that cause direct injury when they contact the skin and mucous membranes. These substances disrupt the normal lining of the respiratory tract. This disruption can potentially cause swelling, airway collapse, and respiratory distress. Examples of chemical irritants found in smoke include sulfur dioxide, ammonia, hydrogen chloride, and chlorine.

A fire also can produce compounds that do damage by interfering with the body's oxygen use at a cellular level. Carbon monoxide, hydrogen cyanide, and hydrogen sulfide are all examples of chemicals produced in fires that interfere with the use of oxygen by the cell during the production of energy. If either the delivery of oxygen or the use of oxygen is inhibited, cells will die.
