[WV] Is a power of attorney valid even if it’s not filed with the county, and can it be amended to add a co-agent?

Hello, regarding the state of West Virginia, if a power of attorney that may have been notarized has not been filed with the county is it valid? My sister has claimed to have power of attorney over my mother, but nothing has been filed with the county as of today. Can my mother amend the power of attorney to add me along with my sister and does my sister have to be there to have me added?

[WV] Can I recover firearms seized by the police if charges against me were dropped?

When I was arrested the police broke into my safe and took my firearms. The original charge had nothing to do with firearms and the alleged victim never mentioned firearms. They said that I was a prohibited person and based it off a previous charge that was dismissed after a deferred adjudication. Should this be handled in civil court—can I do that with a dismissal without prejudice? Also, can I get my firearms back? There have been no charges filed against me for being a prohibited person in possession of firearms.
