Fortunately this need not be the case. Modern technology allows you to remotely confer with your attorney. Using your smart phone or a webcam attached to your laptop or PC, your attorney can remotely supervise your will signing before witnesses and can even record the proceedings for future use if the need arises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your attorney can also notarize your power of attorney pursuant to the Governor’s recent emergency order permitting remote notarization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/www.governor.ny.gov\/news\/no-2027-continuing-temporary-suspension-and-modification-laws-relating-disaster-emergency<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite our need to maintain social distancing you can still avail yourself of the services of an experienced attorney in the preparation and supervision of your signing these important estate planning documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \n\nPlease feel free to call us at (718) 229-1505 for a free telephone consultation.\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Please note that since this blog article was published the emergency authorization allowing remote will signing has expired.
