Law School to offer free financial and medical powers of attorney, living wills, and simple wills clinic

Drake Law School and Dickinson Bradshaw will offer a free community clinic to help individuals prepare powers of attorney, living will, and simple will documents on Friday, Oct. 25. Participants may choose from three convenient sessions: 9–10:30 a.m., 12–1:30 p.m., or 4–5:30 p.m.

Each session will consist of a 45-minute overview about powers of attorney, living wills, and simple wills, followed by a one-on-one appointment with a licensed Dickinson Bradshaw attorney and/or Drake Law student to complete the required documents. Attorneys will be available to answer additional questions. Participants will have the opportunity to obtain signed and notarized documents for their files.

The clinic will be held at Drake University Law School, Cartwright Hall, 2621 Carpenter Avenue, Des Moines, in room 201.

The clinic is being held as part of Drake Law and Dickinson Bradshaw’s recognition of Cady Day of Public Service. Cady Day of Service brings the community together to honor and celebrate the life and legacy of the late Chief Justice of the Iowa Supreme Court Mark S. Cady.

The clinic is free but advanced registration is required. (https://www.eventbrite.com/e/powers-of-attorney-living-wills-and-simple-wills-clinic-tickets-1003704315627?aff=oddtdtcreator)
