VERNER F. CHAFFIN SOCIETY
Individuals who support the University of Georgia School of Law with a planned gift are members of the Verner F. Chaffin Society. A planned gift can be made through the assignment of a life insurance policy, a retirement plan asset, a charitable gift annuity or through an outright bequest in a will.
This society was created to honor and recognize law alumnus and Fuller E. Callaway Chair Emeritus Verner F. Chaffin (L.L.B. ’42)(1918-2018). Joining the faculty in 1958, Chaffin specialized in the fields of wills and trusts, estate planning and federal estate and gift taxation. While noted for his scholarship, Dr. Chaffin’s contributions to the legal field, but his long service to his alma mater and his generous support.
To be eligible for membership in the Verner F. Chaffin Society, donors are asked to notify the law school in writing of their charitable intent for the UGA Foundation by completing the Statement of Future Gifts. if you would like further information about the Verner F. Chaffin Society or to explore planned giving options, please contact Jeremy Headrick in the Law School Advancement Office at (706) 542-3257 or jthead@uga.edu.
