OBA Trusts & Estates Law PROGRAM | Original Program Date: April 17, 2020

On April 7, an Order was made under the Emergency Management and Civil Protection Act permitting virtual witnessing for wills and powers of attorney. This important temporary measure allows estate lawyers to assist clients in executing these critical documents, in circumstances where being in the same physical space is not possible. Join us as we share best practices for executing wills and powers of attorney by virtual witnessing, while still complying with relevant statutory provisions and ensuring that the necessary safeguards to protect against undue influence and confirm testamentary capacity are in place.
