The weirdly rectangular tan lines across your face speak volumes: It’s summer in the time of COVID-19, and you’ve been wearing your mask to protect yourself. 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 you prepared if you become ill? If you’re headed back to school or the office, your fall could bring greater exposure. Without the right documents in place, your family might not be able to advocate for you if you end up hospitalized – and could end up in a financial and legal mess if you pass away. In this issue of The Elder Law Minute, we’ll walk you through the estate planning moves to make to minimize issues later.

Need help getting started? We can prepare your plans remotely or in the office while social distancing. Stay safe, everyone.

FIRM BRIEF
Have a Kid Headed to College?
Calling all parents of college kids: Make sure to put “power of attorney” on your to-do list. That way, if they have a medical emergency, you can act as their agent and protect their medical and financial well-being. 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 you 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.
