If you are a client of our law firm, you may have received an email and a text from us inviting you to get your documents notarized online using a remote online notarization (RON) platform. RON is a convenient and secure way to get your documents notarized in electronic form, with the signer and the Notary appearing online via audio-video technology. RON is also known as webcam notarization, online notarization, or virtual notarization.

We use RON to get your estate plans, power of attorneys, real estate deeds, and other documents notarized, without requiring you to visit our office or a Notary in person. RON saves you time and money, and ensures the validity and acceptance of your documents.

An advanced healthcare directive, also known as a living will or healthcare power of attorney, is a legal document that outlines your wishes for medical treatment if you become incapacitated and are unable to make decisions for yourself. It also allows you to appoint someone to make medical decisions on your behalf, known as a healthcare proxy or agent.

An advanced healthcare directive typically includes two components: a living will and a healthcare power of attorney. A living will is a document that states your preferences for end-of-life care, such as whether or not you want to be placed on life support if you are terminally ill or in a vegetative state. A healthcare power of attorney, on the other hand, allows you to appoint someone to make medical decisions on your behalf in the event that you are unable to do so.

Estate planning is the process of organizing and preparing for the distribution of your assets and property after you pass away. It is an important step in ensuring that your wishes are carried out and that your loved ones are taken care of. Estate planning is not just for the wealthy, it is a process that is relevant to everyone, regardless of their financial situation.

The first step in estate planning is to create a will. A will is a legal document that outlines how your assets will be distributed after your death. It also allows you to appoint a guardian for your minor children and name an executor, who will be responsible for carrying out the instructions in your will. Without a will, the distribution of your assets will be determined by the laws of your state, which may not align with your wishes.
