Some are funded by state and federal funds such as the four Legal Services Corporation programs, some are affiliated with social service agencies, some are affiliated with circuit courts, some are limited in scope such as disaster response, some are affiliated with law schools, and some are affiliated with a single church or local agency usually involving one volunteer attorney.

Every day, millions of Americans face life-altering legal challenges — eviction, domestic violence, loss of veterans’ benefits and consumer scams — without the resources to protect their rights in court. Legal aid organizations funded by the Legal Services Corporation (LSC) are often their last line of defense.
But that safety net is at risk.

In Missouri, a Power of Attorney (POA) is a legal document that allows you to appoint someone (an agent) to act on your behalf in financial and/or healthcare matters. Missouri recognizes both general and durable powers of attorney, with the latter remaining in effect even if the principal becomes incapacitated. A healthcare power of attorney allows you to designate someone to make medical decisions for you if you are unable to do so.
