Next CANLAW Clinic

Our goal is to provide invaluable pro bono estate planning legal services to the cancer community.  We realize cancer patients have incredibly busy and hectic schedules.  In an effort to ease their schedules and minds, we provide an opportunity for cancer patients to have estate planning documents prepared that are tailored to their specific needs.   

At our one-day clinics, volunteer attorneys meet with and advise cancer patients and survivors and their caregiver on legal issues related to the preparation of estate planning documents.  Our volunteers then work with cancer patients and survivors to prepare estate planning documents that meet the needs of the cancer patient.  These documents include a Will, Statutory Durable Power of Attorney, Medical Power of Attorney, HIPAA Release, and a Physicians & Family Directive.  After the estate planning documents are finalized, other legal professionals and community volunteers help to properly execute the documents.  This includes working with the cancer patients to formally sign and notarize the documents.  When cancer patient clients leave our clinic, they leave with properly prepared and properly executed documents—and one less thing to worry about during their cancer treatment.
