• Announcing: A new wills drafting tool for volunteers! We highlighted a custom document generator tool that will help volunteers draft wills, advance directives, and powers of attorney for our clients. The tool, refined by our partners at Chapman and Cutler LLP, helps streamline document drafting and remove common formatting obstacles, opening up more time for us to draft, review, and ultimately help clients. Want to take the tool for a test drive? Email probono@legalaidnc.org to get the link.
