Family Stability

Legal Aid received a call from a teacher who was very concerned about one of her students and was seeking help. The child had two siblings and his mother had end stage cancer. She was a single mother with no family available to raise the children after she passed. She had no delegation of parental authority or other end-of-life documents prepared. With a sense of urgency, Legal Aid placed her case with a volunteer attorney through their pro bono department. Within days, he had the proper documents drafted and executed so that her preferences for guardianship and education would be honored.
