ELDER LAW • ESTATE PLANNING • WILLS & TRUSTS • GUARDIANSHIP & PROBATE LITIGATION

August 2020
The weirdly rectangular tan lines on our faces speak volumes: It’s summer in the time of COVID-19 and we’re wearing masks to protect themselves. Even so, with case numbers still climbing in many parts of the country, including Illinois, the risk of infection remains high.

The question is: Are your clients prepared if they become ill? If they’re headed back to school or the office, fall could bring greater exposure to the virus. Without the right documents in place, their families might not be able to advocate for them if they end up hospitalized – and could end up in a financial and legal mess if the worst happens. In this issue of The Elder Law Minute, we’ll walk you and your clients through the estate planning moves to make now to minimize issues later.

Need help getting started? Generation Law is preparing estate plans remotely or in the office while social distancing. Stay safe, everyone.
AUGUST'S NEWS TO KNOW

Like many other states, Illinois has slowly begun easing restrictions imposed to limit the spread of COVID-19. But as the daily case numbers show, there’s still plenty of reason to be concerned about transmission.

FIRM BRIEF
Know a Kid Headed to College?
Have clients sending children to college this fall? Remind them to put “power of attorney” on their to-do lists.

These documents act like a permission slip, so your clients can still make decisions for their adult children to protect their medical and financial well-being in case of an emergency. Getting a power of attorney is even more important now during COVID-19 – and we’re here to make it simple. 

Generation Law charges a flat fee of $300 per set of POAs per child, and we’ll have everything prepped for your clients to sign in person or remotely. Trust us: It’s way easier than trying to track down extra-long twin sheets. Give us a call at 630-783-1766 or drop us an email to get started.
