[WSBAPT] Governor's Stay Home order - EP as essential services?

[Eric Nelsen]

Does anyone know if there has been a petition to add estate planning to the essential services list? I am doing EP for an emergency-room doctor and I know there are several others doing similar work. But it seems there should be, at the least, a listing of essential services such as "estate planning legal services for persons in essential business services." Ideally it would be just "estate planning legal services" without restriction; after all, anyone could become ill.

Sincerely,

Eric

Note - Attorneys and Staff Working Remotely Due to COVID-19

As we face the quickly changing circumstances presented by COVID-19, our firm wants to update you as to the steps that we are taking at Sayre Law Offices.  Our top priority is the health and safety of our employees, clients, colleagues and friends, and all of their families and communities.

In order to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus while still serving our clients, our attorneys are working remotely.  During this time, our attorneys are able to make and receive telephone calls; access all of our documents and servers; and access emails and voicemails.  Our Seattle and Vashon offices remain open with limited staffing to maintain critical functions, and to route phone calls, mail, and deliveries.  Our Olympia office is closed.  Attorney/client meetings will be handled by teleconference where able, and signatures for estate planning or real estate transactions/closings will be handled on a case-by-case basis.  Many of the local courts have postponed trials and hearings, or are moving them to telephonic proceedings only.  We are keeping up to date on those court closures and changes, and will advise each client, accordingly.

We will continue to monitor the situation and recommendations from the CDC and state and local health departments and will respond accordingly.  Be assured that we will continue to advise and support our clients throughout this health emergency.
