1. Have your unsigned Will "notarized" this week.
Vercammen Law is back in the law office. Have you not signed your Will, Power of Attorney or Living Will? On Friday, May 15 we will be signing Wills for clients in the parking lot at the safe distance. Weather permitting, by appointment, Ken V will be available to notarize/ take the oath on documents we have prepared. Bring your own pen, mask etc.
Print out your documents.
Initial every page of the Will before two witnesses watching seven feet away, then the witnesses sign, then attorney signs. A spouse can be witness #2.
2. Where to put your original Will, Power of Attorney and Living Will?
A popular website addressed making sure the original documents are accessible to the Executor.
After you've created a Will, the next decision is where to store the will so that your executor can easily find the original document when needed. Because the executor will need the original will to handle your affairs efficiently, a will should be stored in a safe and accessible place and the executor should know exactly where it is kept.
Not being able to get a hold of the original copy of your will can end up being a nightmare for your beneficiaries, both emotionally and financially. Below are ways to store the original copy of your last will and testament so that it is accessible to your executor after you are gone.
Best- Keep your original Will a fireproof box in your bedroom, under the bed or in your closet
Good: Have Executor #1 keep the originals in their house.
The original Will is property of the client so Attorneys typically do not keep the original. The exception is where the attorney is the Executor when the person does not have nearby family to serve as Executor,
Bad: A Bank safe deposit box. During the Covid shut down, the public was barred from banks. Also, you may need the Living Will on a weekend or evening if there is an emergency. The bank is not going to open up for you on the weekend.
Wills are not filed prior to death with any New Jersey office. A scanned will cannot be admitted to probate by the Surrogate.
It is a good idea to email copies of your documents to family, Executors, Trustee, Guardian and children if appropriate. Also email the Living Will to doctors.
