<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:navy">The new policy means I and other retired attorneys will no longer be part of this listserv. I occasionally post on historical evolution of real property procedure
or law, as a contribution to the education of those who come after me, and payback for those who helped me as a newbie thirty-some years ago. If institutional memory is valuable, then this listserv needs an emeritus status to include folks like me. If us old
folks are not of value, then cut us out. And before you say “just join the section,” remember that retaining bar membership after retiring means continuing to pay bar dues and CLE costs. Once you do that, you get tempted to do some little piece of practice,
and then you should be insured as well, and that means needing more income, and suddenly you are not retired anymore. Allowing non-practicing members of the bar to join still means you are going to eliminate some of your oldest and most experienced current
members, because they retired.. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

</div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hello Fellow Listservers:<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I wanted to provide another reminder to all listserv users of the scheduled updates and upcoming changes to both the Real Property and Probate & Trust Listservs.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Starting February 1st, 2019, both listservs will only be accessible by WSBA RPPT members. The RPPT Executive Committee decided after much deliberation and input that the listservs should be an exclusive member benefit. Starting February
1st, 2019, you will need to login into the <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.wsbarppt.com_&d=DwMFAg&c=fie8CffxQEyLNW7eyn-hJg&r=JERrBGrHYHDKmt6DjB9VAo1wn86_nDXhLwz5Msa5wWAQiPVWLWGOGUDcF194hmkm&m=nlVl-KJR-2Bo6Q_JaWqV-0LC1HVoV05RE5les3QgqQk&s=PHtxZEEjlxwuIRphbuX_72FuJvrolGha9HGZvJbK0BA&e=" target="_blank">www.wsbarppt.com</a> website
using your section login and password in order to register for the listserv, access the listserv archives, and/or unsubscribe to the listserv. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Further, the Executive Committee has approved the adoption of new guidelines, rules, and general etiquette for the listserv. These will be posted on
<a href="http://www.wsbarppt,com">www.wsbarppt,com</a> under the listserv tab for all members to see and review.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Lastly, beginning on February 1st, 2019, all listserv postings will contain a disclaimer in the footer reminding all that while the listservs will be restricted to RPPT section members, not all section members are practicing attorneys.
Section membership is open to law students, non-practicing members of the bar, and even some non-attorney professionals in related fields such as title officers, real estate agents, and escrow agents. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Executive Committee believes that these changes will improve the listserv experience for section members and deliver value to members as one of many available section member benefits.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I hope to make the transition to the members only listserv as seamless as possible If you experience any difficulty during the transition, please feel free to email me and I will do my best to respond and assist you.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kind regards,<o:p></o:p></p>
