Rethinking Estate Planning: What Clients and Law Firms Should Really Know
When people hear the term “estate planning,” they often imagine complicated legal processes meant only for the wealthy or those nearing retirement. In reality, estate planning is much broader—it’s about preparing for life’s uncertainties, protecting personal interests, and ensuring that decisions are honored long before and long after someone passes away. Effective estate planning is truly “life planning,” offering peace of mind at every stage.
Why Modern Estate Planning Requires Modern Tools
Estate planning involves critical documents such as wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives. These require accuracy, security, and timely execution. For today’s tech-savvy clients—and even those who simply value convenience—traditional in-person notarization can create delays or accessibility challenges.
That’s where remote online notarization (RON) becomes a powerful advantage for law firms.
