Buenos diás!

In 2003, the ABA Commission on Law and Aging produced a Spanish version of its most popular consumer brochure Health and Financial Decisions: Legal Tools for Preserving Your Personal Autonomy.



The Commission also produced a 19-minute Spanish-subtitled version of the video In Your Hands: The Tools for Preserving Personal Autonomy. The video comes with a program guide that provides sample scripts and discussion points to help present the program. The video is available in DVD and VHS format.



The materials encourage seniors to use legal planning tools to ensure that their personal, health care and financial wishes are honored in the event they become sick, disabled or incapacitated.



They are wonderful tools for attorneys and advocates who work with Spanish-speaking seniors, caregivers, or family members.

To see the English version of the brochure, go to:

The Spanish versions are now available for free, including shipping, while supplies last.



To request copies of the brochure, (and don't be shy, we have plenty) and copies of the video or DVD version of In Your Hands, please email: abaaging@abanet.org.



We welcome your forwarding this email to others who work with Spanish-speaking seniors, caregivers, or family members and may be interested in obtaining free copies of the brochure or video.



If you have questions, please call (202) 662-8690.
