Beaufort is stepping up to support our local heroes! The Beaufort County Veterans Affairs is teaming up with Lowcountry Legal Volunteers to offer a fantastic opportunity for veterans and their dependents. They will be hosting a free clinic dedicated to helping service members put together important documents like wills and powers of attorney. This is a wonderful chance to ensure that you and your loved ones are prepared for the future.
The clinic is scheduled for October 18th from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and will take place at AMVETS Post 70, located at 1831 Ribaut Road in Port Royal. The best part? It’s completely free of charge! This event is open to all veterans and their dependents, but it’s important to note that registration is required.
If you’re interested in attending this invaluable clinic, you can register online by visiting the website of Lowcountry Legal Volunteers at lowcountrylegalvolunteers.org. Alternatively, you can reach out by phone at 843-815-1570 to secure your spot. Don’t miss out on this great resource designed specifically for you!
Veterans Affairs Director Caroline Fermin expressed her excitement about this initiative, saying, “We are excited and grateful for this opportunity to sponsor this clinic with Lowcountry Legal Volunteers. End of life planning is incredibly important. Being able to offer the service free of charge, answer any and all questions our veterans might have, and knowing they will leave the clinic prepared with either a will or power of attorney, is one more service we are proud to offer our veteran population here in Beaufort County.”
Attending the clinic will provide veterans with the opportunity to get their legal questions answered and walk away with critical documents that can help protect their family’s future. End-of-life planning is not just for older adults; it’s a smart step for anyone, regardless of age, especially for those who have served in the military.
In addition to the upcoming clinic, the Beaufort County Veterans Affairs Office is always ready to help veterans and their families. They assist with access to various government programs veterans might be eligible for. If you need personalized assistance, you can schedule an appointment by calling 843-255-6880.
