Remote witnessing: will it persist once we no longer have to socially distance?

Social distancing has seen the rise of the video witnessing of wills. Is this the future, or will physical presence still be necessary post-pandemic? Using examples from jurisdictions that have adopted technological changes as a result of COVID-19, STEP experts will discuss the cases behind the respective moves and the long-term implications.
