February 15, 2010 MEDIA RELEASE,
LANC-New Bern Office
(New
Bern,
NC) –
Legal Aid of
North Carolina (LANC) and the
UNC School of Law
are teaming up to offer free advance directive legal services on
Thursday, March 11 at the Pamlico
County
Senior Center
in Alliance,
NC.
Advance directives are legal documents that allow you to
convey your decisions about distribution of property and end-of-life
care ahead of time, such as wills, powers of attorney,
healthcare powers of attorney and living wills.
“These legal documents are critical tools that will help you
preserve your property for future generations, protect and build
your family’s wealth and let others know of your wishes related to
end-of-life care,” says David Caddigan, managing attorney of the
LANC-New Bern Office. “Our free clinic will give clients
the opportunity to complete all legal requirements related to their
documents during their appointments.”
The advance directive documents will be drafted by law students and
reviewed by licensed attorneys. Eligible clients will have the
opportunity to complete all legal requirements (including signing,
witnessing and notarizing) during their appointments.
The law students will be working with and under the supervision of
attorneys from
Legal Aid of North Carolina, the
UNC Pro Bono Program and the
UNC Center for Civil Rights. Interviews will take
place on Thursday, March 11 at the Pamlico County Senior Center
located at 800 Main
Street
in Alliance.
These legal services will be provided free-of-charge, but
individuals must meet the eligibility requirements for Legal Aid of
North Carolina.
To determine if you are eligible for this program and to schedule
an appointment, contact Legal Aid of North Carolina’s
