Identifying and Reporting Elder Abuse in WV

By Anna Melissa Price Of Jenkins Fenstermaker, PLLC on 07/26/2018

When our elderly loved ones become unable to care for themselves, we often rely on caretakers, assisted living facilities, and nursing homes to help. We put our trust in people to provide care to our vulnerable family members. Unfortunately, elder abuse in WV often goes unreported because signs are missed or people are not sure whether something “counts” as abuse or neglect.

May a Child Inherit From a Parent in WV after Parental Rights Are Terminated?

By Anna Melissa Price Of Jenkins Fenstermaker, PLLC on 07/16/2018

In West Virginia (WV) as in many states, ownership of a decedent’s property often passes according to the terms in the decedent’s will. When the decedent did not leave a valid will, his or her property passes according to the law of intestate succession. In such cases, the property passes to the decedent’s child if there is no surviving spouse. But what happens if the decedent’s parental rights had been terminated? Can a child inherit from a parent in WV after the termination of parental rights? The West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals recently answered that question in the negative.

Government healthcare and retirement programs don’t cover the day-to-day issues many seniors and their families face, but careful estate planning can. When considering your needs for elder care and estate plan strategies, remember to include community senior benefits and senior caregiving in your estate plan.
