Anti-bullying contracts at Rainbow Hop today until 1 pm

As many of you know we have been very busy since the pandemic started. While we currently have capacity to take on new probates and are still serving as court appointed PGALs and Personal Representatives and Trustees, we are no longer able to take on new guardianship cases at this time.

We are still taking new Estate Planning clients, but given our volume of work, we are now booking folks about five months out as we can only take so many intakes each week and still be available for current clients and do a timely turnaround of drafts. We realize that this means folks need to wait an absurdly long time for their first appointment with us, and we apologize for that. We have contact information for attorneys who are less busy and able to meet with clients sooner for those who need that but frankly our who bar is pretty booked up right now due to pandemic era retirements and waits can be long for many of my colleagues.

We also realize that this is the season when many of our past clients with kids who are turning 18 and possibly making plans to go off to college. We advise all parents with kids turning 18 to encourage those kids to have those kids meet with an attorney and prepare durable powers of attorney for health care and for finances so that they can get assistance if they need it in case of a medical emergency. To help facilitate that we are going to be opening up one extra appointment per week for our former clients' young adult children to meet with us about preparing those documents. When calling or emailing for those appointments, please let the office know that you are looking for an appointment for "setting up powers of attorney for a young adult" so can get one of those openings rather than the delayed appointments available for standard full estate planning.

Thanks to all our clients and friends whose referrals have made us this busy. It's gratifying to know you recommend us to those you care about. Sorry we can't get everyone in as early as we would like.
