The Allegheny County Law Library (ACLL) also offers these services for a small fee, such as Legal Forms, as detailed in Guide to ACLL Services for the Public.

1. Nursing Home Admission Planning for yourself, your spouse or your parent:

   • Map out how you can pay for nursing home care - research nursing homes (see also, Caring.com)  & research attorneys focused on Elder Law (many lists, including Justia's); use a law school clinic (Duquesne University School of Law's or University of Pittsburgh School of Law's)
   • Map out ways to transfer property or assets to a loved one (family members or not) - research the law: use ACLL's LibGuides; watch our videos so you know how to access our resources - in person or remotely.
2. Estate planning & administration
   • Are you thinking about writing a will?
   • Have you been named an executor to the estate of a family member or a loved one?
   • Are you the beneficiary of your spouse's will? 

All these are questions you may need to research yourself, contact a clinic, or hire an attorney, as suggested above. 

If you want to find additional resources, you can search the ACLL's online catalog. If you need additional assistance in research, you can visit the ACLL at acllib.org, call us at 412-350-5353 or email us at acll@carnegielibrary.org.
