Please join Philadelphia VIP and Habitat for Humanity Philadelphia for a two-part estate planning clinic for Philly homeowners. Training will be provided.

This program will be held at Vaux Big Picture High School over two dates:

• Thursday, May 29 from 5:30–8:00 pm (training and client matching)
• Thursday, July 17 from 5:30–8:00 pm (finalize and sign documents before a notary)

How it works

Training and Client Matching (May 29): Following a one-hour training, you will be matched with a Habitat for Humanity Philadelphia partner family or neighbor. Using VIP’s case file and estate planning questionnaire, you and the client will begin making documents like a will, power of attorney, and advance directive.

In between the training and notarization day, you will have time to continue discussions with your client and draft the documents using VIP’s estate planning resources. This time will also give clients a chance to consult with family members and be sure of their decisions.

Signing Day (July 17): Meet your client at the school to execute the estate planning documents in front of a notary and witnesses.

Volunteers should plan to commit to both meetings. Attorneys and other legal volunteers are welcome, but non-attorneys must bring a Pennsylvania attorney who will supervise their work.
