Grant Amount Awarded: $1,500
The Iowa State Bar Association (ISBA) Elder Law Section has requested funding for assistance in reprinting the popular and updated Older Iowan Handbook. Originally published in 1988 by the ISBA Young Lawyers Division, the handbook has undergone recent revisions by the ISBA Elder Law Section. Their dedication to providing crucial information about the law and programs for older Iowans remains unwavering.
The “Handbook for Older Iowans” serves as a comprehensive and user-friendly legal reference for seniors in Iowa. It offers a wide range of valuable resources and guidance specifically tailored to their needs and concerns. The latest edition, the 7th edition, is available in a digital format online allowing easy access for those seeking guidance and knowledge. Additionally, a printable version is available online.
