WILLS & TRUSTS DURING CORONAVIRUS
Your Will or Trust may be at risk. We’re here to help.
Your will, trust or estate plan is critical to ensure that what you want to happen in the event of your passing becomes reality. COVID-19 has added a layer of complexity. Filling out a will online may not be legally enforceable if not done properly; having ‘dated’ estate plan documents may not be accepted. Our trust and will attorneys know you have questions.

- How you, not a court, ensures your family receives your assets
