Description

The last two years have brought a revolution in virtual and remote estate planning. While only a few states are exploring e-Wills, virtual estate planning has become very common. Clients may be unwilling or unable to travel to your office, but still need, sometimes desperately need to complete wills, trusts, powers of attorney, or advance health care directives. Increasingly lawyers are using email, phone, and videoconferencing to interview client, gather in the information needed to draft documents, review draft documents, and set the stage for signing.
