How We Can Help With Legal Planning

Community Legal offers free assistance to help eligible individuals create simple wills that clearly outline how assets and personal matters should be handled after death.
Powers of Attorney
Community Legal provides free assistance with powers of attorney, allowing individuals to designate trusted persons to make financial or medical decisions if they become unable to do so.
