Pride & Planning:
Honor Your Life, Protect Your Legacy
Are your affairs in order? Most of us put off creating a will and related documents because we think it will take too much time, cost too much, or that only the wealthy need wills. But everyone—young or older—needs a will, and everyone deserves to have their wishes about medical care respected.
It also doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. That's why ALRP and the law firm Wilson Sonsini are teaming up to provide FREE legal assistance to help you plan your legacy this Pride month.
Who's eligible?
This workshop is geared towards individuals whose assets total less than the California probate limit of $208,850. Unlike for ALRP’s other services, you do not need to be HIV+ to qualify.
How it works:
-
- Register and attend a webinar on May 19. We’ll share information about questions to consider and information to collect so that you’re ready to complete your legacy planning documents.
-
- Submit a brief intake form by May 26. After the webinar, ALRP will send you a link to complete an intake form. ALRP’s client services staff will review your information and make sure everything’s ready to go before you meet with a lawyer. When you submit the form, you’ll also book a one-hour appointment to meet with a lawyer on June 13.
-
- Attend your appointment on June 13. Join us at Wilson Sonsini (One Market Plaza) on Saturday, June 13, to meet 1:1 with a lawyer and have your documents finalized.

What can we help with?
You’ll be able to leave our workshop with the following documents in hand:
Will: A will is a legal document that determines what happens to your property after your death. A will may also function to name a guardian for a minor child or name an executor to handle your affairs.
Power of Attorney: A Power of Attorney is a legal document that gives a designated person the power to act for you regarding financial or healthcare matters.
Advance Health Care Directive: An Advance Health Care Directive is a way to ensure that your wishes regarding your health care are carried out if you should become unable to speak for yourself.
FAQ:
Why draft legacy documents?
Everyone deserves to have a say in their treatment and legacy. No matter your financial situation, having a will, power of attorney, and advance healthcare directive in place is an important way to make your wishes known, avoid stress and conflict down the road, and leave a legacy on your own terms.
Are there any fees for this workshop?
Nope! The webinar and workshop are completely free for all participants, and you will leave with your finalized legacy documents in hand. Everyone deserves to have their end of life wishes known and respected.
