Free Class On Heirs' Property and Estate Planning
2025-08-14 18:00 - 21:00 (America/New_York) | 1401 Duke Street, Beaufort, SC, United States, South Carolina 29902, 1401 Duke Street, Beaufort, SC, United States, South Carolina 29902
Many families in the Lowcountry unknowingly put their generational wealth at risk due to common misunderstandings about Heirs’ Property.
This free class, presented by Lowcountry Legal Volunteers in partnership with Freedman Arts District, will break down the legal myths that often lead to land loss, family disputes, and court battles.
You’ll learn why simply living on or paying taxes for inherited property doesn’t guarantee ownership, how to legally protect your family’s land, and what happens when there’s no will in place.
Attorneys Anne Caywood and Cherese Handy will guide attendees through practical steps in estate planning, including wills and healthcare power of attorney.
Whether you’re a landowner, heir, or just want to be informed, this class is an essential step toward securing your family’s future. Join us on August 14 at 6PM at 1401 Duke Street and leave empowered with the knowledge to protect what matters most.

Get muddy with us as we volunteer with the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources’ Oyster Recycling and Enhancement program (SCDNR SCORE) to restore oyster reefs along the Beaufort River!
WHAT TO EXPECT:While reef builds are a blast, they are labor intensive! Expect to get muddy and wet, be in the sun, and get some exercise. Volunteers should be capable of and enjoy working in soft pluff mud while lifting and passing up to 40-pound bags of oyster shell and wire cages.
We will meet at the Parris Island Boat Ramp (off-base) located at 21 Marina Blvd to sign volunteer waivers, meet SCDNR’s oyster restoration crew, learn about the importance of oyster reefs to our coastal environment, and hear the game plan for the day. Following the briefing, we will load the material onto the boats and head out to the site for the restoration.
WHAT TO WEAR/BRING:– Closed-toe shoes. Rainboots/ muck boots are recommended. If you do not have boots, old sneakers will work. No sandals!– Clothes you don’t mind getting muddy or stained.– Hat– Sunscreen– Reusable water bottle – there will be a water cooler to refill.– I recommend leaving a set of clean clothes in your car to change into after the build
Registration required as there is limited space, and we need an accurate headcount for the boats.

Show statement :
Office hours are typically reserved for faculty to meet with students, allotted time for advising and mentoring. For art professors, office hours extend into their studio practice, where they explore techniques and concepts to enrich their pedagogy. This collaborative exhibition celebrates the creative exchange between Instructor Emma Barnes and her painting students. As Barnes navigates the intersections of painting, plaster and photography, she explores the narrative and material possibilities of her work. Barnes’s students reflect bold, experimental leaps of their own – each testing the expansive boundaries of painting.
