The Erie County Bar Association will be hosting its Wills for Heroes event on Saturday, September 24, 2016 from 12:00-4:00 p.m.  Wills for Heroes (WFH) is a national program that was created after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks to provide free basic estate planning documents (a basic will, power of attorney, and living will) to veterans and first responders such as police, fire and emergency medical personnel.  This year’s WFH will return to the Erie County Public Safety Building on Flower Road with ECBA member attorneys again volunteering their time and services.

First responders and veterans are not eligible to participate in this event if their estate exceeds $500,000.  Appointments for Wills for Heroes are filled on a first-come, first-served basis, and the ECBA anticipates that available timeslots will fill quickly as they have in previous years.  Interested participants must register, and because of limited time and resources, the ECBA cannot accommodate walk-ins the day of the event.
