Serve as a Judicial Designee to assist the Probate and Family court in reviewing the Care Plans and Annual Reports that guardians of incapacitated adults are required to file. Volunteers use a checklist developed by the Court for the reviews. At this time, the court is seeking volunteers for Probate & Family Courts in the following counties: Suffolk, Middlesex, Norfolk, Essex, Bristol, Plymouth, Barnstable, Hampden and Hampshire.

This Project is limited in scope and the work can be done in discrete, pre-scheduled blocks of time (e.g., 3 hours in the morning or afternoon). It is a great pro bono opportunity for busy attorneys. You only need a morning or afternoon a few times a year to help the court protect vulnerable members of the community.

To volunteer or find out more about the project, please contact Barbara Siegel at bsiegel@vlpnet.org or 617-423-0648 x123. Or you can sign up online at http://vlp.volunteerhub.com/.
