<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Listmates,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In November I filed a vulnerable adult protection order petition in King County Superior Court as a civil matter because I couldn’t figure out what type of case it should be (the choices for opening a probate matter didn’t include a VAPO).
Now I’ve received my VAPO order from the Ex Parte Dept. but I am not sure how to close the civil case (or whether I should, just in case we have a violation of the VAPO in the future). Does anyone have any guidance?
