Deaf Community Workshop - What is Power of Attorney?

Join us for an informative workshop focused on understanding Power of Attorney (POA) and how it can help you plan for your future. Led by Attorney Matt Kaplan, this session will explain what a POA is, how it works, and why it’s an important tool for protecting your finances and making decisions about your care.

This workshop is designed for members of the Deaf community and will provide clear, accessible information in a supportive environment. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions, build their knowledge, and feel more confident about making legal decisions that support independent living and long-term security.
