<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Garamond",serif">I have a couple of Title 11 guardianships that are ripe soon for an annual review. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Garamond",serif">1. One of them will be appropriate for an extended reporting cycle -- but I'm shocked to find that I simply can't find the section of RCW 11.88 or RCW 11.92 that used to talk about
the option of shifting to a triennial (3-year) reporting cycle, following the first annual report. Is this option no longer in the statute? If so, I completely missed that. I'm hoping it's still there, but just a bit hidden, and I'm simply not seeing it, and
somebody can help me out. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Garamond",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:18.0pt;font-family:"Garamond",serif">2. I really haven't spent time yet reviewing the new statute that becomes effective on January 1st, RCW Chapter 11.130. Since the law isn't effective yet, I've just still been
using my old forms, and so far haven't had any issues. But, for these annual review matters, since their next reporting cycles will extend past January 1st, into the application of the new statute, are there any provisions of the new law that NEED to be included
in the Order approving the Guardian's annual report, which will be signed by the court in 2021? For example, for a Guardianship of the Estate, is it going to be necessary for the court clerk to reissue Letters that utilize the new terminology, and do I need
to provide for that in the Order? (I'm hoping not, and that I can just wait to address the changes until I'm appearing in court AFTER the new law has already become effective.)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
