• Probate
  • Students represent clients in probate cases where the post-death transfer of property may involve an independent administration, dependent administration, muniment of title, determination of heirship, or small estate affidavit.
• Guardianship
  • Students represent a parent or close relative seeking the guardianship or guardianship alternatives of an incapacitated adult.
• Child Welfare
  • Students work each semester on legal issues impacting children, which may range from special immigrant juvenile status cases to children in the foster care system.

Note – Since these are clinics we cannot guarantee that we will provide full representation if we take your case, but may be able to provide free advice and assistance.
