00:00:01.159 --> 00:00:04.639
Last year's disaster may be over as a weather event,
2
00:00:04.799 --> 00:00:08.519
but for many families, the legal and financial recovery continues.
3
00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:13.480
Questions about home ownership, FEMA decisions, wills, and what happens
4
00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:17.120
to a property after a tragedy like this can determine
5
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:20.399
whether a family keeps a home or faces many years
6
00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:24.079
of uncertainty. A free legal clinic coming to Leander on
7
00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:28.160
August fourth aims to help eligible residents address those issues.
8
00:00:28.839 --> 00:00:33.159
In this episode, we'll discuss the upcoming Protect Your Property Clinic,
9
00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:37.399
what residents can expect, and why property documentation is an
10
00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:42.039
important part of disaster preparedness and recovery. Welcome to the

topical something that we can, you know, bring attention to
