Beaufort County Hosts Free Legal Clinic for Veterans

Beaufort, SC – Exciting news for our local veterans! The Beaufort County Veterans Affairs is teaming up with Lowcountry Legal Volunteers to provide a free legal clinic tailored specifically for veterans who need assistance in creating important documents like wills and powers of attorney. This event is designed to make legal support accessible and stress-free for those who have served our country.

When and Where

Mark your calendars for Friday, October 18, as the clinic will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at AMVETS Post 70, located at 1831 Ribaut Road in Port Royal. This clinic is not only free of charge, but it’s also open to all veterans and their dependents, making it a fantastic opportunity for our local veteran community.

Why This Clinic Matters

According to Veterans Affairs Director Caroline Fermin, “End of life planning is incredibly important.” She expressed her enthusiasm, stating, “We are excited and grateful for this opportunity to sponsor this clinic with Lowcountry Legal Volunteers.” Having a will or power of attorney in place can provide peace of mind, and knowing that veterans can receive these essential documents without any financial burden is a comforting thought.

Many veterans and their families often have questions regarding legal matters, especially those that pertain to their future. This clinic aims to address those questions and provide personal assistance in drafting up necessary legal documentation. By the end of the day, each participant should leave with either a completed will or power of attorney, making it a service truly aimed at benefiting our veteran population.
