Amdursky Pelky Fennell & Wallen PC

Our attorneys have been working hard all throughout this unprecedented year in an effort to serve our clients. Yesterday they were able to get together outside of work to enjoy one another’s company and recharge before the end of the year (which reminds us, don’t forget to change your smoke detector batteries this weekend)!

Please join us in congratulating our very own Jack Conners for achieving his first HOLE-IN-ONE on the 18th hole at the Oswego Country Club on Sunday afternoon! Way to go, Jack!!

Today is Law Day! Every year we get together to celebrate the Rule of Law in the United States and what makes our democracy the best in the world. This year may be a little different, but this year’s theme celebrates 100 years of women having the right to vote. Please take a moment to contemplate this right and all others that you enjoy living in America!

On April 7, 2020, Governor Cuomo signed the latest Executive Order which now allows for remote witnessing of legal documents via audio-video technology, with certain conditions having to be met. As of now, the Governor’s Order allows for remote witnessing until May 7, 2020. The Executive Order specifically references New York State’s statutes governing the execution of Wills, Powers of Attorney and Health Care Proxies, three important documents that most, if not all, individ...uals should have as part of their estate plan. This latest Executive Order along with the Governor’s prior Executive Order allowing for remote notarization of documents are critical laws for Elder Law and estate planning attorneys who have been working diligently to implement new strategies for their clients to be able to sign important legal documents while complying with the laws of New York State. We at APFW Law already have plans in place to safely and effectively serve our clients within the legal boundaries set by our state while also keeping the health of our team and clients our first priority. Please call us if you or a loved one has any questions about your estate and disability plan. The APFW Law team has been working hard to keep up with our quickly evolving laws during the COVID-19 pandemic and we will continue to bring you the latest news that is relevant to our clients and friends. We wish you and your family health and safety and we look forward to better days ahead when we can see our clients in our office again. "We've Got You Covered"
