What is the Southern Nevada Senior Law Program (SLP)?
Originally established in 1978 by the City of Las Vegas under the 1965 Title III Older Americans Act, Senior Law Program (SLP) provides legal services at no-cost to seniors aged 60 years and older in Southern Nevada. In 2012, the current organization was established as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. SLP is extremely proud to be recognized and honored by the Nevada Supreme Court on its tenth anniversary as a non-profit organization in 2022. SLP is partially funded by grants from the Nevada Aging and Disability Services Division, the State Bar of Nevada Foundation, Bank of Nevada, along with generous client and community contributions. SLP has assisted more than 125,000 vulnerable seniors.
Serving Seniors aged 60 years and older in Southern Nevada
No income qualification required
Funded by Grants and Generous Donations
Let Us Serve You
The Southern Nevada Senior Law Program provides legal services at no-cost to individuals who are 60 years of age or older. In order to qualify for our services, such seniors must also live in Southern Nevada (Clark, Nye, Lincoln, and Esmeralda Counties). Clients receiving legal assistance at SLP are low income or living on a tight fixed income.
We assist these vulnerable seniors with a variety of legal challenges.
For example:
- The 84 year old woman whose 88 year old spouse was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. She needs a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care Decisions and simple Will.
- The 62 year old Social Security recipient whose check stopped due to an overpayment when he took a part-time job to make ends meet.
- The 75 year old who wants to prepare a simple Estate Plan to avoid probate.
- The 81 year old widow whose daughter drained her bank account.
The Southern Nevada Senior Law Program provides seniors with the following Legal Services:
SENIOR ADVOCATES PRO BONO PROGRAM
The Supreme Court of Nevada and Southern Nevada Senior Law Program (SLP) request that you pledge to become a Senior Advocate so that more vulnerable seniors are able to be served in our community.
Senior Law Program proudly received a Nevada Supreme Court Certificate of Recognition in 2022. In the certificate the Justices specifically “encouraged probate and estate attorneys to support Senior Law Program by volunteering pro bono or supporting with a donation in lieu of pro bono.”
Please consider becoming a Senior Advocate.
Southern Nevada Senior Law Program established its Senior Advocates Pro Bono Program in October 2021 kicking it off with its first in a series of senior sign-a-thons. This program is dedicated to expediting the completion of estate planning documents for clients not facing exigent circumstances. SLP pro bono program is facilitated by a team of volunteer attorneys ranging from new attorneys to those with decades of experience focused on finding ways to serve more seniors more quickly.
The Senior Advocates Pro Bono Program promotes SLP’s growth and sustainability allowing for the largest impact possible on one of the most vulnerable populations in the Las Vegas community.
If you are interested in becoming involved in our Senior Advocates Pro Bono Program, contact us today.
Attorney volunteers are able to take advantage of ongoing additional CLE opportunities at no-cost through SLP – earning 1 CLE hour for every 3 hours of uncompensated pro bono service.
