Legal Guide for Seniors Now Available in Six Languages
Spectrum
staff
The State Bar’s “Seniors and the Law” legal guide is
now available in six languages, State Bar Executive Director Judy
Johnson announced last week.
The English and Spanish versions were published in May and were distributed in
Sacramento at two forums co-sponsored by the State Bar and Spectrum newspaper.
A Chinese version was published in December, and Korean, Tagalog and Vietnamese
editions were added this month, Johnson said.
“Our goal with ‘Seniors and the Law’ was to inform as many
California seniors as possible about issues and laws that affect them,” Johnson
said, “and it proved to be more popular than we ever could have imagined.”
The guide includes sections on finances, Social Security, insurance, housing,
employment, health care, elder abuse, consumer fraud, grandparents’ rights,
estate planning and other issues which face many older Californians.
To order a copy of “Seniors and the Law,” e-mail seniors@calbar.ca.gov
or write to the State Bar of California; Attn: Seniors and the Law; 180 Howard
St.; San Francisco, CA 94105-1639. Specify which language you want, and provide
a name, address, the number of copies desired and a daytime phone number.
Free copies of the English version are available at Spectrum’s office,
located at 530 Bercut Drive, Suite E, in Sacramento. The guide also will be available
for free March 6 at Spectrum’s table at the Sacramento Zoo’s Senior
Celebration.
