Missouri to hold free estate planning clinic for veterans Published 3:11 pm Friday, September 4, 2026 JEFFERSON CITY — Lt. Gov. David Wasinger, in partnership with the Missouri Veterans Commission, will host a free estate planning clinic for Missouri veterans and their spouses on Friday, Sept. 25, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the two organizations announced this week. The event, available by appointment only, will help veterans and their spouses prepare essential legal documents, including wills, powers of attorney, advanced directives, and beneficiary deeds. Trusts will not be available at this event. Estate planning documents allow veterans to specify how their property should be handled and who can make decisions on their behalf, protections that organizers say can spare families legal complications and added stress if a veteran dies or becomes incapacitated without such plans in place. “Planning for the future is one of the greatest gifts we can give our loved ones,” Wasinger said. “Our veterans have given so much to this country and making sure their affairs are in order brings peace of mind to them and their families. Estate planning is not just paperwork—it is an act of love and responsibility, and we want to ensure our veterans have access to these legal resources.” Paul Kirchhoff, executive director of the Missouri Veterans Commission, said the clinics are meant to spare families uncertainty. “Too often, we see families struggling with uncertainty when a veteran passes without clear instructions or legal documents in place,” Kirchhoff said. “These clinics remove that stress, giving veterans confidence that their wishes will be honored, and their families will be protected.” Veterans interested in attending must RSVP by Tuesday, Sept. 23, to secure an appointment. The specific location will be provided upon registration. To register, veterans can visit mvc.dps.mo.gov/will-clinic-reservation or call (573) 751-3779. Wasinger, Missouri’s 49th lieutenant governor, was raised in Hannibal and is a graduate of the University of Missouri-Columbia and Vanderbilt University School of Law. Before taking office, he worked as an attorney.
