The Probate Court Assistance Project (PCAP) began when an attorney invited CVLS to partner with him and veteran probate attorneys to provide pro bono representation in low-income decedent’s estate cases. Judges refer potential clients who file estate cases themselves, but don’t know how to proceed. Other clients come to CVLS when a relative dies owning a home and the family needs help with the real estate. These experienced volunteers handle the cases or find extra-judicial solutions to marshal family assets, saving time and headaches in the process.
