Overview

Bet Tzedek Postgraduate Fellow for Equity in Trust & Estate Law Grant

Status: Recently awarded (July 2025)

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

Award Amount: $20,000

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.

    Geographic Scope: Los Angeles, California
