CLARIE LAW OFFICES HURRICANE HELENE
SOUTH PASADENA, FL
BRANCH UPDATE
Our office building like many of the homes in the South Pasadena FL area, has felt the effects of Hurricane Helene. We extend our gratitude, care, and empathy to families and communities affected by the storm and surge. We have established a temporary office and secured all files.
All staff is working remotely and at our temporary location while the work team completes the efforts. We are truly thankful for our team and their dedication. All files remain dry and secure. Our team answers calls at 727-345-0041. We arrange each client’s meeting location based on conditions at the time.
Storm surge caused some flooding. Our repair team is replacing the flooring and drywall. Therefore, our staff will contact clients with scheduled office appointments. Together, we will confirm the best way to meet.
We have multiple ways to meet with you via in person, zoom, teams and phone as well.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and our firm web site at www.clarielaw.com and FB page contain on going updates. In the event you cannot reach us via the mainline office phone, my cell number is 727-470-4837.
All of us, D’Arcy, Peggy and Matthew, wish you safety and peace during this difficult time.
Hurricane Helene Office Update: Planning Your Meeting
An unexpected office disruption can raise practical questions for clients. Before your next appointment, confirm the location and format of the meeting. Ask whether the team needs paper originals or whether copies will help with the initial discussion. This simple check can prevent an unnecessary trip while buildings and services recover.
If you plan to meet by phone or video, choose a quiet place where you can speak privately. In addition, prepare a short list of the decisions or documents you want to discuss. Keep a pen and paper nearby so you can record the next steps.
Protecting Continuity in Your Estate Planning
A storm can also prompt a review of how you store important records. Make a list of your will, trust, powers of attorney, and other planning documents. Then note where each original belongs and who knows how to find it. Secure copies can help you organize information, although they do not always replace originals.
If damage affects your records, explain the situation to your attorney before discarding anything. Also report changes to your contact details so the office can reach you about your matter.
