Free Clinic

Topics:
  • Military/Veterans
  • Wills/Estates

To serve military veterans who are in need of estate planning but cannot afford legal counsel, Baylor Law School will host its annual Veterans Day Wills Clinic to provide free aid to vets and their spouses.

Appointments may be made for Friday, Nov. 11, by calling 254-710-4244 or emailing Veterans_Clinic@baylor.edu. The deadline to make an appointment is 5 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 9.

The event will be at Baylor Law School in Sheila & Walter Umphrey Law Center, 1114 S. University Parks Drive in Waco. Students will handle intake and gather information to prepare wills, powers of attorney and directives to physicians. Second- and third-year law students will draft documents with attorney supervision, and wills will be finalized later.

Veterans will be asked to provide the names, addresses and phone numbers of beneficiaries and persons that they want to serve in a primary or alternate decision-making capacity for financial, medical and caregiving decisions.
