Estate Planning Clinics
Volunteers assist a family to talk through a series of questions to determine who they want to make decisions if they cannot, who should be able to exercise their parental powers if they become unavailable, and what should happen to their belongings when they pass away. Volunteers may be reviewing their answers on the questionnaire, or reviewing the documents our office prepared based on the questionnaire.
Limited Conservatorship Clinics *Volunteers Urgently Needed August 8*
Volunteers sit with a family whose loved one has a developmental disability and lacks capacity to make some decisions. Whether that is consent to medical care, or to understand complex contracts, the family needs a court order to take the power from their loved one. Volunteers will help families to review a questionnaire and then read through court forms (prepared by our office) to verify all the information is correct before they sign.
Probate Note Clearing Workshop
Volunteers assist unrepresented litigants to review probate notes (directions from the probate court on how to fix errors in their filing), and to type their answers into a form.
Please email me with any questions. Thank you for all your support!
Best,
Rebecca
