Estate planning documents (wills, trusts, powers of attorney, etc.) are essential in a crisis. In the present pandemic, our families, friends and customers are dealing with frustrating isolation, sudden debilitating illness, and untimely death. Each situation presents unique challenges that is best resolved with a specially designed legal document.
