Port Townsend free legal clinic is set for Nov. 15
PORT TOWNSEND — The Clallam-Jefferson Pro Bono Lawyers will be at the Port Townsend Community Center, 620 Tyler St., to provide a Planning Ahead Free Legal Clinic from noon to 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 15.
The event is a chance for low-income community members to prepare advance planning documents, such as a durable power of attorney for finances and a health care directive, aka a living will, according to a news release.
These legal documents allow individuals to appoint friends or family members to help them make important decisions when they are no longer able to do so for themselves.
They also allow individuals to express their wishes to doctors and loved ones about what kind of “end-of-life” health care they do or do not want.
Participants will have the opportunity to walk away with legally effective power of attorney documents and health care directives.
The clinic is sponsored by the Clallam-Jefferson Pro Bono Lawyers, the Northwest Justice Project and the Seattle University School of Law Clinical Program.
For more information, call 360-504-2422.
