Do any Veterans have any info on having a Will written?

I was told by the Local Veterans Rep, That yes having a Will made was one of my Veterans benefits. The Vet Rep got me in contact with a Liaison. Whom referred me to a website that claimed to write Wills on a pro-bono basis. After checking the Qualifications for the service,
I found if a Veteran earned more than $40K per year, then we do not Qualify for the free service. Are there any other options? Reply to [login to see]

I use the JAG Office on post - but I am retired. I do not think that non-retirees have that option, but I could be wrong. If you live anywhere near a base, you may want to check with them and see what their rules are.

I can’think of a single reason that I would involve the VA in my estate planning. I would soone write it on a yello pad. For several years my life expectancy was tomorrow morning. The. Gets everything anyway, it is all joint ant we are sure to keep it that way. I don’t even have any insurance.
