Getting your Legal Documents in Order with Roberta Goodman and Nicole Fields
When was the last time you updated your health proxy information? Do you have a Power of Attorney? Lots of things change as we age and it’s important to make sure your decisions keep pace with your changing needs and relationships. At this hybrid lecture/workshop led by attorneys from the Pace Women’s Justice Center, you will learn which legal documents you need at this point in your life and what has changed in NY law in the last few years. You’ll also have the opportunity to fill out a health proxy form onsite and ask questions along the way. At the end of the program, an attorney will serve as a notary for any outstanding needs (remember to bring a photo ID if using the notary service).
