ST. LOUIS - Missouriar -- On June 11, Association of Corporate Counsel – St. Louis Chapter members volunteered their legal experience at the Veteran's Estate Planning Clinic. With a mission to provide free legal counsel to veterans and their spouses, the team prepared simple wills, powers of attorney, beneficiary deeds, and health care directives, all with the aim of ensuring that our nation's heroes receive the support they deserve.
Eight Chapter members volunteered and assisted 19 veterans and spouses by drafting 15 wills, 13 advanced directives, 13 healthcare Power of Attorney (POA), 15 general POA, and 9 beneficiary deeds. This is the second Veterans' Estate Planning Clinic that the Chapter's members have participated in this year. The first Estate Planning Clinic members participated in was March 19.
The event was a success, thanks to the dedication of the members who went above and beyond to help veterans and their families in the St. Louis area.
