Safety during Covid-19 is paramount for ILAWS

-

ILAWS offers a convenient service. Its representa­tives have always arranged home visits to organise Wills and Power of Attorneys, so that clients can deal with this important task in the comfort of their own home, at a time that suits them.

Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdowns, ILAWS was classed as an essential service, which meant home visits were allowed to continue so long as the client was comfortabl­e with this.

“We’ve always been able to go into homes because Wills and Power of Attorneys are so important – this is not like letting a painter in, this is like being able to let an emergency plumber in to deal with a burst pipe,” says Tony Marchi, ILAWS principal.

As more clients (and staff) become vaccinated, hopefully we’ll all feel increasing­ly comfortabl­e with home visits. But throughout the pandemic, and going forwards, ILAWS has always kept safety a priority. During a home visit, your ILAWS representa­tive will:

● Sanitise their hands before and after entering your home, as well as wearing fresh disposable medical gloves in every appointmen­t.

● Wear a facemask.

● Keep their distance and will not touch any of your surfaces.

● Observe social distancing throughout.

Getting a POA or Will organised is important; ILAWS is focused on making sure clients feel safe and comfortabl­e, so they can help as many people as possible put these essential legal documents in place.
