RURAL SENIOR CONSUMER
JUSTICE PROJECT
Many seniors in rural areas face
difficult legal issues, but they often
do not have access to the information
needed to make good choices. This
project through the Rural Law Center of
NY hopes to provide some basic legal
information for New York’s rural seniors
to help ease their minds and assist them
in determining an appropriate response
to a problem. Delaware County NY
Connects is collaborating with the Rural
Law Center of NY to provide legal
services to Delaware County consumers of
long term care services through a
webcam. Referrals will be taken on any
civil legal issue. Services are mostly
limited to advice and brief assistance.
There are times the consumer will be
redirected to an organization more
appropriately suited to their needs.
Referrals can be made to the Delaware
County NY Connects office at 6 Court
Street, Delhi, NY at 607-746-6433.
Referral forms can also be obtained at
our office. Some of the legal issues
that can be addressed through this
service are:
-
Housing
-
Advance Planning
-
Public Benefits
-
Consumer Rights
-
Bankruptcy/Credit
Issues
-
Family Law
