At this time (during Covid19 restrictions), we are happy to work with clients to prepare Wills, and Powers of Attorney (with or without Healthcare Directives).
In order for a Will prepared by a lawyer in Nova Scotia to be valid, it must be signed in the presence of two witnesses who should not be beneficiaries or spouses of a beneficiary under the Will. We are meeting with clients to review and sign their Wills in person while following the protocols set-out by the Nova Scotia Government.
Powers of Attorney, including those with healthcare directives can be witnesses by anyone who is not becoming the attorney. Accordingly, we can prepare and email a Power of Attorney to a client who can then sign it before a witness.
Please send us an email or call us if you have questions about this area of law or our services.
