TARCOG has a new contract in place for legal services for the aging population in DeKalb, Jackson, Limestone, Madison and Marshall counties.
Director of Aging Programs Sheila Dessau-Ivey said a contract with Legal Services of Alabama went into effect in March following the retirement of the agency’s longtime attorney, LaTanya Rhines in September 2024.
The new legal team is here to help with wills, trusts and any other legal matters for those age 60 and older. To access the services, residents may call TARCOG at 256-830-0818 or the Council on Aging in their home county:
DeKalb County Council on Aging – 256- 845-8590
Jackson County Council on Aging – 256-574-6733
