Allowing power of attorney or conservator to sign transfer on death deed

Senate Bill 664 would amend West Virginia law to allow a person's legally appointed power of attorney or court-appointed conservator to sign a transfer on death deed on their behalf. Currently, only the property owner could sign such a deed; this bill expands that authority to authorized representatives. It directly affects property owners who use legal representatives (like family members or guardians) to manage their affairs, ensuring those representatives can complete this type of property transfer without requiring the owner's personal signature. The change simplifies the process for transferring property after death when the owner is unable to act.
