Wills & Estate Planning Clinics South Carolina!

Join us for a series of in-person Wills & Estate Planning Clinics this March across South Carolina for Black farmers and landowners seeking to protect their families and landholdings.

Register here!

Event Details!

The average cost of a simple will can range from $300 to $1,000, and access to trusted, affordable legal assistance in rural communities remains a major challenge. These Wills and Estate Planning Clinics are designed to help reduce barriers by connecting Black farmers and landowners with guidance, preparation support, and referrals to trusted attorneys. Participants can receive support around the broader estate planning process, from wills to other tools that help protect land, assets, and family legacy.

Participants who pre-register will receive assistance from the Federation’s Land Retention team in preparing the information needed for estate planning documents in their state and will have the opportunity to meet with volunteer attorneys on site to discuss next steps and schedule will drafting at a later date.
