Current Office Procedures
|
|
In the ever-changing landscape in which we find ourselves due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, we wanted to remind you of our current office procedures.
We are open during the Pandemic and here to make sure you are prepared, utilizing remote services and responsible social distancing measures.
The office door will be locked. If you have documents you would like us to review in advance of a meeting, please send them via e-mail, US Mail, fax, or drop them in the locked box outside our main office door to the left.
We offer remote pre-signing document reviews, and by telephone or video conference. We offer outdoor signings in York and, in Kennebunk, we offer meetings and signings with a glass door barrier.
During the COVID-19 Pandemic, we are crediting your consultation fees toward document fees. We are also including one (1) Transfer on Death Deeds (TODD), which are new to Maine as part of any basic estate plan. You can read about TODD’s on
Smilie’s Blog
.
We will do our best to accommodate client situations during this time by offering clients the ability to pay over time on a case by case basis.
Please call (207) 361-4680 for a virtual appointment or to speak with us at any time.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. Please stay safe and be well. We look forward to talking with and seeing you soon.

By protecting yourself, you are protecting others!

Wash your hands!
The most current information available suggests the most effective way to protect ourselves at this time is by simply washing your hands and wearing a face covering. Believe it or not, there is a correct way to wash your hands. Our December Newsletter featured National Handwashing Awareness Week and explained the proper method of washing your hands along with other vital information. We didn't know at the time just how relevant this information would be. Read our December issue below and
view our archives
on our website. We also invite you to forward our December newsletter to help spread awareness about the importance of proper handwashing.
