Planning ahead for the future is crucial, especially when it comes to legal matters like wills, powers of attorney, and health care directives. The University of Hawai’i Elder Law Program (UHELP) offers a fantastic opportunity for kūpuna, their families, and caregivers to take advantage of free legal services to ensure their rights to autonomy and self-determination are preserved.
The upcoming public presentation, scheduled for Tuesday, October 1, 2024, will provide valuable insights into how UHELP, elder law attorneys, and law students can assist in preparing for periods when you or your loved ones may no longer have the capacity to make decisions. This event will also feature a discussion on the importance of having legal documents in place that protect your future.
The event is a must-attend for anyone interested in learning about elder law and the services offered by UHELP, including wills, powers of attorney, and advanced health care directives. If you are over 60 years old, with a low to moderate income, and do not own real property, you may be eligible for these free services, provided through the law school’s elder law clinic.
For more information or to attend the event, contact Project Dana at (808) 945-3736 or via email at cgsg@projectdana.org. Don’t miss this opportunity to plan for your future and ensure peace of mind for you and your loved ones!
