June 2020 Illinois is opening back up, but for many families, fears of the pandemic remain. Assisted living and nursing homes can be frightening places to be right now. In this issue of The Elder Law Minute , we outline a simple step you can take now to make sure you’re ready to advocate for a loved one in a facility.   If you completed your estate planning remotely during COVID or you still want to, we have some good news there, too. Generation Law’s offices reopened June 1, and we’re here to help you in person (while social distancing!) or remotely. Reach out if you need us.
