Coronavirus, Estate Planning, & Health Care Directives

We are joined again this week attorney Ryan Janisse, a shareholder at Gilmore Magness Janisse, who helps us dive into the unique challenges that COVID-19 might present to your estate plan. As Ryan reviews, your estate plan is always important, but other challenges exist right now, such as getting your new estate planning documents notarized... so it's important to work on your estate plan right now, because it could take longer to complete as the world, and law firms, grapple with shelter in place rules.Ryan also discusses health care directives, which are important part of your estate plan that effects you and your care while you are still alive but unable to make your own health care decisions if, say, you were on a ventilator. As we mentioned in our last show notes, Ryan's practice includes estate and succession planning, probate and trust administration, probate and estate litigation, conservatorships, business matters, and transactional law. He works with individuals and families in connection with all aspects of estate planning including the preparation of living trusts, wills, powers of attorney, advanced health care directives, nomination of guardians, and irrevocable trusts. His practice also includes representing beneficiaries, executors and trustees in contested and uncontested probate and trust administration matters.If you would like to reach out directly to Ryan, you can find him on his firm's website at: https://gmlegal.netMusic:Cold Funk - Funkorama by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution licence (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100499Artist: http://incompetech.com/Tracking ID: 1-05008316Send in your questions!
