<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Thanks for your response. The court granted the tenant’s motion for stay of execution of the writ of restitution (the lock-out date was Monday but was based on a default
judgment) and will set a hearing to address the tenant’s defenses. So, the issue of whether a 90-day notice can be given by the trustee of a trust is still open and alive. Happy Holidays.</span><u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="gmail-m_-4864451877532469687xmsoplaintext">Two Items have just come up that I need to argue in less than two hours. First, several sections of RCW 59.18 speak of actions that must be done "before execution of the writ of restitution." So what does this mean? Is the writ executed
when the sheriff posts the door with the writ or is the writ executed when the sheriff shows up for the lock-out? Second, my LL Client owns the residence using a family trust. The LL gave a 90 day notice that "Joe Blow, as trustee of the Joe Blow Trust"
intends to occupy the residence as his primary residence. Opposing council argues that a trust can't physically occupy the house so the notice is void. Any experience out there on this argument? Sorry for the rush.<u></u><u></u></p>
