Grant Legacy Group opens its West End flagship and the surrounding block for a free day of plain-language education on the subject most families never get taught: how to protect what they’ve built. No appointment, no purchase, and no eligibility screening at the door — everyone is welcome to walk in and learn.

The day features rolling classes, each taught in plain English and repeated throughout the day so families can come and go:

• Where There’s a Will — what a will actually does, why dying without one can leave your family in the hands of the courts, and how to start one
• Keeping the House in the Family — how families lose homes and land they’ve held for generations, and the basic paperwork that can help prevent it
• Your Wishes, Your Voice — advance directives and healthcare proxies, so your family never has to guess
• When the Time Comes — a practical, unhurried guide to the steps a family faces after a loss

In the Legacy Clinic, Grant Legacy attorneys sit down with anyone who wants to begin a basic will or directive on the spot — free, no strings attached, and theirs to take home signed.

Every attendee leaves with a free Legacy Toolkit: a workbook that helps families walk through the same planning at their own kitchen table.

A children’s area with free, supervised activities means no parent is turned away for lack of childcare. A sweet-tea garden and light food keep the crowd lingering.

At midday, Lila announces the Legacy Academy Fund: free will-drafting for any West End family earning below the area median, with no application fee and no catch.

“My daddy preached that knowledge is the one inheritance nobody can repossess,” she tells the crowd. “Today we’re handing it out for free.”

She closes from the steps:

“A legacy isn’t just what you leave behind. It’s what you make sure no one can take away.”
