A: Lawyers can make house calls to assist with legal matters such as amending a will, especially for senior citizens who may have mobility issues. However, whether this service is offered and any associated costs can vary depending on the law firm and the location.

While some attorneys may offer reduced fees or even free services for senior citizens, this is not a universal practice. It's advisable to contact local law firms or legal aid organizations to inquire about their services and any potential discounts for seniors.

When reaching out, be clear about your grandmother's needs and her age, as some firms may have specific programs or policies for assisting elderly clients. Additionally, you may want to explore community resources or senior assistance programs that might provide legal aid or referrals to attorneys who offer services at reduced rates or pro bono for seniors.
