As you have probably heard by now, keeping physical distance between us is crucial to stop this virus. Now you can feel even more confident about completing your estate plan without needing to take a single step outside your safe home.
Up until now, the law in Arkansas posed a dilemma. Formerly, important legal documents had to be signed in person. During the course of this epidemic, then, we have been doing all we can to follow that law, to get your documents signed in person and still protect your health.
Two days ago Governor Hutchinson changed that law, for as long as this epidemic lasts. He suspended the requirements for in-person signing. We are now very happy to offer you the entire estate-planning process, start to finish, all completed while you stay safe at home and connected with us by internet instead.
Please consider that especially under these circumstances, it would be most wise to get your plan done. You will have made sure that trusted people can step in for you, to take care of bills and health-care decisions if you become unable. At the same time, you will have taken care of your heirs, to protect your family’s legacy as smoothly as possible when the time comes.
Ten days ago, we wrote here that you could do “almost everything” to plan your estate by internet. How quickly things change. Now, lose the “almost” – it’s “everything.” You can now do it all by internet, to get to the peace of mind we wrote about back then. That hasn’t changed. You will know that a trusted person can pick up the reins for you, so you or your loved ones get the care you need, and you will know that your estate legacy will be preserved and protected.
Be the one with foresight. Call us to get this done over the wires.
