Our Pandemic Estate Plan Execution Experience
My mother-in-law had been experiencing dementia since her early 80's and was living in a nearby assisted living facility when she fell and broke her hip in early January this year (2020). That was the beginning of the end for her, but we did not realize she would end up passing away in April during the COVID-19 pandemic when the St. Louis area and much of the country was under a "stay at home" order. This has made taking care of all of her affairs much slower and more challenging, but luckily we had planned a lot in advance to make the whole procedure less aggravating. My wife, Penny, decided to write up her ordeal and I have posted it on my site as " Dead Reckoning " our guide to setting up and executing an estate plan for a parent. Enjoy!
