Ideally it would be just "estate planning legal services" without restriction; after all, anyone could become ill.</p>

<p class="ox-c2e1f91f86-MsoNormal">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.</p>
