I'm not a West Virginia lawyer, and if there's a substantial amount of money involved, it would be a good idea to have all the facts reviewed by an attorney in your area, for advice you can rely on.  One place to find a lawyer is our website, www.attorneypages.com

In most states, as long as 120 hours (exactly five days) passed, between father's death and son's, the deceased son still inherits his share, and it goes into his estate.


IMPORTANT NOTICE: The Answer(s) provided above are for general information only. The attorney providing the answer was not serving as the attorney for the person submitting the question or in any attorney-client relationship with such person. Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion. Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved. Unlike the information in the Answer(s) above, upon which you should NOT rely, for personal advice you can rely upon we suggest you retain an attorney to represent you.
