During these unprecedented times as we battle a pandemic and multiple variants, people feel the need to finalize their estate planning or begin the process to ensure that their wishes are honored and their loved ones, assets, and pets are protected. Doing so is important and provides you with great peace of mind.
We follow strict safety procedures in our office for your health and safety and that of your family members. We comply with recommendations by public health specialists, as well as orders of authority.
If you are more comfortable, we also offer consultations and meetings by phone or through remote online applications such as Zoom, Skype, Facetime, etc. We are glad to guide you through the steps to set this up if needed.
Signing and notarizing documents is done with proper physical distancing, protective gear as required that we provide, and disinfection before and after. We appreciate your cooperation.
