JAMESTOWN, N.D. (JRMC) – The novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic presents an unprecedented health challenge for everyone.

In a time of crisis, it is natural for families to take a step back and think about their legacy and their loved ones’ security. According to CNBC and the Wall Street Journal, this concern has spiked interest in information about insurance, wills and estate planning. However, Google is not a place to establish a will.
