Bill Summary

The purpose of this bill is to permit a power of attorney or conservator to sign a transfer on death deed.

AI Summary

This bill amends West Virginia law to allow individuals to designate beneficiaries for their property who will receive it automatically upon the owner's death through a "transfer on death deed," and importantly, it now explicitly permits someone acting under a "power of attorney" (a legal document granting someone authority to act on another's behalf) or a "conservator" (a person appointed by a court to manage the financial affairs of someone unable to do so themselves) to sign such a transfer on death deed on behalf of the property owner.
