The clinic will be held Friday, October 18, 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. at AMVETS Post #70, 1831 Ribaut Road, Port Royal (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.

"We are excited and grateful for this opportunity to sponsor this clinic with Lowcountry Legal Volunteers," said Veterans Affairs Director Caroline Fermin. "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."
