Presented by the Estates and Probate Section
About the Program
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed life as we know it. With this, many people have been thinking about their estate plans or lack thereof. The good news is that estate plans as we know them really haven’t changed – at least not since the UTC and the SECURE Act. Wills, living trusts, healthcare directives, and powers of attorney are all the same. What’s challenging now is executing and notarizing these documents in the social distance environment. Two Executive Orders now allow documents to be notarized and executed remotely. Attorney Ruth Fortune from Czepiga Daly Pope & Perri LLC will give an estate planning refresher and explain the requirements of remote notarization.
