Estate Planning Technology: Electronic Wills

Learn the difference between an electronic will and a traditional will and how electronic wills work in a modern society.

Electronic wills have become a hot topic in recent years, and especially during the pandemic. They continue to stir debate despite their obvious advantages, which have led to more legislative support and acceptance. As a result, more states permit electronically signed wills and estate planning documents. This topic will discuss the difference between electronic wills and those signed on paper with remote witnesses, as well as the features of the new Uniform Electronic Wills Act.
