Legal Guide Offers Advice For Pre-Retirees People who put off seeking sound legal advice usually discover that the delay has multiplied both their problems and the price they will have to pay an attorney to solve them, according to a free Legal Guide prepared for people in the 50- plus age group by Action for Independent Maturity (AIM). The Guide, designed to provide middle-agers with a basic knowledge of their legal rights and responsibilities, emphasizes the fact that sound legal guidance in handling property, financial resources and family affairs can deter­ mine independence, security and peace of mind now and in the future. While most people delay talking to a lawyer except as a last resort - because of a general distrust of lawyers or a fear of high fees, the Guide points out that initial thirty- minute consultations with attorneys can be arranged through local Bar associations for as little as $3 to $15, depending on the locality. "For you to try to deal with the vast complexities in law would be foolish," the booklet warns.
