Center for Disability & Elder Law

Chicago, IL

Nonprofit

SAGE Partner

The Center for Disability and Elder Law provides free legal services to low-income older adults and people with disabilities throughout Cook County, Illinois, and has done so for more than forty years. Its practice areas are the ones that decide how later life actually goes: estate planning, guardianship, housing, financial stability and divorce. For LGBTQIA+ elders in particular, estate planning and powers of attorney do heavy lifting, because a chosen family with no documents behind it has no standing when a hospital or a bank asks who is next of kin. Services are free. Specific income limits are not published, so call the intake line to check whether you qualify.
