Subject: Virtual Legal Services - Current and New
Hi Ann,
I hope you have been able to adapt to the current circumstances that we are facing with the ongoing pandemic. It definitely is not easy and can leave you exhausted.
Strangely, I have never felt so busy and had nowhere to be. Each day, I've been thinking about what people need from a legal standpoint and a personal standpoint.
To highlight a few important changes.
- I have added evening hours Monday through Thursday.
- I have also added online booking for 30-minute virtual consultations. Book a virtual legal consultation.
I have had a virtual and physical office for several years to serve clients at any time from anywhere. My office has been paperless for half a decade.
The transition to work from home (WFH) has been comfortable for me and I'm using all technology available to make it comfortable for those who need me.
I have added new services and improved current services.
Primary legal offerings relate to wills, powers of attorney, and probate.
Will in a Day® Virtual
My current, and most popular, service is Will in a Day®. Appointments are now virtual and participants are able to have all documents prepared, witnessed and notarized in a single appointment without leaving their house.
More details and scheduling at my webpage for Will in a Day®.
Iowa Remote Online Notary (RON)
My new service is remote online notary (RON). This legal process was adopted early by Governor Reynolds; it was to be effective July 1, 2020. I am approved by the Iowa Secretary of State to provide remote notary services.
More details and scheduling at my webpage for RON.
Power of Attorney Virtual
A hybrid of current and new service is for power of attorney documents. They are already included in the Will in a Day® package; they are now offered as a stand alone for anyone who wants a healthcare power of attorney, financial power of attorney, living will and legal consultation.
More details and online booking are included on my Will in a Day® page.
Virtual Probate in Iowa
Another hybrid of current and new service is virtual probate. I have already been representing individuals in probate/estate matters; now I can do it without the person having to leave home. If you or someone you know are an executor, administrator or beneficiary and have legal questions, I am offering virtual consultations. Book a virtual consultation.
Before the pandemic, the most frequently I sent emails was once a month. My frequency is not going to change. I can't handle all the email and I'm sure you don't like it either. You can get regular updates on legal services by following my Facebook Page @HopeWoodJD or visiting my website https://hopewoodjd.com. If all else fails, "google" my name.
Hang in there!
Hope
