GSU COL Pro Bono Program

Project Description:
Assist clients with completing estate-planning questionnaires by making phone calls, speaking with clients about estate-planning needs, and gathering information. Students may also assist in drafting simple estate plans and working with clients to execute advance directives or financial power of attorney documents. This project is in person at the Atlanta Legal Aid office. The office is walking distance from the College of Law. You will receive an email with further project details the week of your project.
