VOLUNTEER FOR WHITMAN-WALKER CLINIC'S ESTATE PLANNING CLINIC

On the second Tuesday evening of every month, GAYLAW volunteers meet with people living with HIV/AIDS at Whitman-Walker Clinic to prepare simple planning documents (typically a Will, Advance Medical Directive and/or a Power of Attorney). GAYLAW also recruits teams of lawyers, legal assistants and law students to visit and prepare documents for clients who are home or hospital-bound due to their medical conditions, and helps the WWC Legal Services Program recruit GAYLAW volunteers to prepare documents for clients who visit its Northern Virginia campus. These documents give WWC clients a real sense of control over their future and satisfaction at having put their affairs in order. No experience is required in estate planning or related areas. The documents you will prepare are uncomplicated and are designed for people with little, if any, property or income. A comprehensive AIDS Advocacy Training Manual, E-form documents and close mentoring by WWC staff will give you the necessary support. The time investment is very manageable - typically under 5 hours per client - but the impact you will make on the lives of those in need is tremendous.
