Overview

Recipient: Bet Tzedek, a nonprofit organization providing free legal services to low-income and vulnerable communities in Los Angeles

Purpose: To support Bet Tzedek's Postgraduate Fellow for Equity in Trust & Estate Law, who provides free estate planning services to qualifying homeowners in Los Angeles.

Focus Areas:

Elder law
Homeowner protection
Foreclosure prevention
Estate planning for low-income and vulnerable populations
Critical services for low-income homeowners, older adults, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities

Problem Addressed: For many low-income homeowners and people of color, the family home is typically their most significant asset. Without estate planning, their homes may be lost to probate costs, perpetuating intergenerational poverty and declining homeownership rates in Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities.
