While experiencing the grief of unexpectedly losing a loved one, how does a family even begin to think about questions of legal and financial security? 

Those bereaved by the pandemic are often left with the added struggle of paperwork. They must quickly understand their financial strengths and weaknesses after a family member who may have been managing their assets and liabilities suddenly passes away. Addressing an absence of wills to avoid property disputes which may arise in the future is another task. Having heard urgent pleas for help in such matters, some legal and financial experts have signed up to offer free assistance. 
While some of the volunteers are experts in their field who are accessing their networks, others have launched initiatives because they understand the problems of those who are grieving, based on personal experiences. City-based brand marketing professional Farhin Khan is one among them. Although not an expert in either finance or legal aid, she put out a call asking experts to come forward and give pro-bono guidance.
