We have entered into uncharted territory and the challenges resulting are overwhelming.
Schools are closed; restrictions are in place; businesses are closed; and nearly one out of every three Americans have been told to stay put through shelter-in-place mandates. Courts have pushed deadlines as well, and Courts have limited the amount of people coming into the courthouses or closed completely. Many things can be done online. Some people, however, are not aware that South Dakota and other states have statutes that allow for signatures to be notarized without even leaving your home. Some states are allowing it through executive orders and will only allow during the crisis or until a statute actually goes into effect.
