Several lawyers posted on Social media saying that anything you write the date on legal documents or checks, DO NOT abbreviate 2020.
You will want to write out the full date, ie 1/1/2020 and not 1/1/20 because people could alter the date and make it look like 1/1/2015 or 1/1/2019.
It is a simple way you can protect yourself this year.
