Free legal clinic for veterans planned

The Nevada State Veterans Home will host a free legal assistance clinic for veterans from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Feb. 25 in its conference room.

The program was created by the Nevada attorney general’s office of military legal assistance. Through its @EASE program, veterans can get free assistance on a variety of civil issues. The workshop, offered in conjunction with Nevada Legal Services, is dedicated to drafting wills and powers of attorney.

Representatives also will be able to discuss family law, bankruptcy, consumer issues, landlord/tenant issues and public benefits.

The veterans home is at 100 Veterans Memorial Drive.
