The Elder Law Project’s (ELP) two-fold mission is to educate low-income seniors about the importance of having end-of-life documents such as wills, health care proxies, durable powers of attorney, and living wills — and to prepare these documents on a pro bono basis.

The ELP makes presentations at senior centers and low-income elderly  housing developments to explain the purpose and importance of these end-of-life-documents. Interested seniors are matched with a volunteer attorney who will prepare the documents.

Special thanks to the Massachusetts chapter of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys for providing many of our ELP trainers and mentors.  These attorneys are the backbone of our Project and allow newer attorneys to learn to draft these documents with the "safety-net" of a mentor.
