<p class="MsoNormal">All—I haven't seen much discussion here regarding Ex Parte procedures in King County, though perhaps I missed it. At any rate—there are a number of emergency orders in place. Order #4 attached is most relevant to probate and guardianship
matters. All orders can be found at: <a href="https://www.kingcounty.gov/courts/superior-court.aspx">
https://www.kingcounty.gov/courts/superior-court.aspx</a>, which is <b><i>not</i></b> the Clerk's website, so I've been missing them because I usually just go to the Clerk's site.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Per Order #4 issued on Friday, the general gist is:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l2 level1 lfo9">If you
<i>can</i> submit ex parte via the clerk, you must.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l2 level1 lfo9">If you have an unavoidable hearing, arrange for telephonic appearance if you can—you are "strongly encouraged" to do so. You can call or email ex parte to arrange for that. Email is
<a href="mailto:scexparte@kingcounty.gov">scexparte@kingcounty.gov</a>.<o:p></o:p></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l2 level1 lfo9">You should provide the proposed order via email "to the extent practicable" to
<a href="mailto:scexparte@kingcounty.gov">scexparte@kingcounty.gov</a>, but you still must provide paper working copies either via the Clerk's service or by delivering them to the
<b><i>mailroom</i></b>. Note that the delivery is to the <b><i>mailroom</i></b>, not directly to Ex Parte in the usual manner.<o:p></o:p></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Order #4 also has a lot of specific rules relating to Guardianships—best to read it, there's too much to summarize easily.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Re Probates, <b><i>you can't start a probate via walk-in</i></b>. You must submit via the Clerk, which means if you have an original Will it's got to be delivered to the Clerk. If a hearing is required, you still set it and should request
telephonic appearance.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also there are lots of other items relating to adoptions, family law hearings, and so forth, both in the attached and in the other emergency orders on the court's website—we're up to emergency order #6 at this point, issued today regarding
family law matters. I'm just mentioning here what I saw relating to probates and guardianships.<o:p></o:p></p>
