Beaufort County Veterans Affairs is partnering again with Lowcountry Legal Volunteers to offer a free clinic for area veterans who need help drawing up a will or power of attorney. 

The clinic will be held Friday, November 14, 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at Beaufort County Disabilities and Special Needs Office, 100 Clearwater Way, Beaufort (map). 

This event is free of charge and open to all veterans and their dependents. Registration is required. Apply online at lowcountrylegalvolunteers.org or call Lowcountry Legal Volunteers at 843-815-1570.

“Our Life Planning Seminar is an incredibly important event where we emphasize the value of having an up-to-date will and power of attorney," said County Veterans Affairs Director Caroline Fermin. "Offering this service free of charge allows us to answer any questions our veterans may have and ensure they leave the clinic fully prepared with either a will or a power of attorney. It’s one more way we are proud to serve and support our veteran population here in Beaufort County.”

The Beaufort County Veterans Affairs Office assists veterans, their spouses and other dependents with access to government programs for which they are eligible. Veterans Affairs Counselors are available by appointment only by calling 843-255-6880. For more information click here.
