If you have young children, what would happen to them if something happened to you? If you’re in an accident and cannot speak for yourself, who will decide what care you’ll receive? Do you want the state – or a stranger – to decide for you?
In fact, the majority of Americans (over 60%) do not have a will or other Life Planning Documents, which can lead to unnecessary and burdensome court proceedings to determine guardianships of minor children, distribute assets, or make end-of-life care decisions.
Good News: Wills Clinics provide easy and rewarding opportunities for pro bono work! VTLA is partnering with the Greater Richmond Bar Foundation (GRBF) to provide a basic Will, Power of Attorney, and Advance Medical Directive to help low-income individuals and families have peace of mind. Through simple, step-by-step templates, virtually any attorney from any practice can do this. No Trusts & Estates experience required and no legal obligations after you leave - one and done! GRBF provides all the on-site training tools and mentorship. If you can spell “will,” you can do one!
Please join us on March 13, 12:45-4 pm at the Hickory Hill Community Center to assist clients of the Richmond Office of Aging & Disability Services with their Life Planning Documents. We are seeking 6 attorneys and 2 witnesses for this pro bono opportunity.
