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.<u></u><u></u></p>

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.<u></u><u></u></p>
