UNM Indian Estate Planning Clinic

The University of New Mexico Law School is holding its first-ever Indian Estate Planning Clinic on Saturday, April 25 from 10:00 am until 3:00 pm at the UNM Law School.  Attendance is limited, pre-registration is required and walk-ins are not allowed.  Provided below is more information regarding the clinic:

State judges, attorneys and State bar staff have come together at the request of SILC to be trained in the law and to provide this free service of drafting wills for Native Americans.  Services are being provided because the American Indian Probate Reform Act, a federal law that provides specific requirements for federal Indian trust property, requires expertise in Indian law and estate planning in order to competently serve the Native American client in many situations.
