Summary & Background
Superior Court Administration requests approval to renew an existing contract with Atlanta Legal Aid Society, Inc. to provide legal assistance and services to senior citizens.
Scope of Work: The Family Law Resource Section of the Fulton County Courts Justice Resource Center (JRC) is designed to primarily to assist low to moderate income individuals who ordinarily could not afford an attorney. The Senior Services component will function in a similar way to the Family Law component in which assistance and information would be provided to seniors (age 60 and over) who wish to educate themselves on legal issues underlying the elder population, such as Wills and Probate (Estate Planning and Guardianship), Landlord and Tenant issues (evictions), Federal and State benefits (Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security), Fraud and Elder Abuse, and Grandparents Rights. As with the family law consultation sessions, the senior services consultation component would not involve representation.
Community Impact: Provides critical legal assistance to low - moderate income individuals.
Department Recommendation: Superior Court recommends approval to support access to justice by ensuring access to these critical services to the citizens of Fulton County.
Project Implications: The Superior Court does not foresee any project implications with these services.
Community Issues/Concerns: The Superior Court does not anticipate any community issues or concerns with these services.
Department Issues/Concerns: The Superior Court does not have any departmental issues or concerns.
