The Legal HelpLine for Older Kentuckians is a service of the Access to Justice Foundation (AJF). It is a service intended to help elderly Kentuckians with legal issues. The service provdes legal advice and assistance to persons age 60 and older and their caregivers.
The toll-free number is 1-800-200-3633.
Who can call?
Calls by older Kentuckians and their children or caregivers are welcome.
How does it work?
The Legal HelpLine is a telephone advice and referral service. Calls are answered or returned in the order
they are received. If the attorneys are busy, callers need to leave their name, phone number
(including area code) and a brief message about the type of question they need help with.
What kind of questions can the HelpLine answer?
Frequent topics are:
Does it cost me anything?
No. The call is toll-free and the attorneys can provide advice and limited assistance at no charge. Some
problems are too complex to be handled through the HelpLine. In those cases, an attempted referral will be
made to an attorney who has agreed to take the case for free or a reduced rate, or to a social service
agency.
The HelpLine provides basic advice about Living Wills, Health Care Surrogacy appointments and Durable Powers of Attorney. Referrals to attorneys who will prepare these documents for free can also be provided.
