The Erie County Bar Association would like to extend our gratitude to Marquette Savings Bank for donating $1000 to our Wills for Heroes program.   This money will provide for laptops and estate-planning software to use exclusively for this event.  Pictured from left: attorneys Thomas Minarcik, Christine McClure (Chair, Erie Law Foundation), Marquette CEO, Michael Edwards, and attorneys Melissa Shirey (ECBA President) and Valerie Kuntz.

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 on Saturday, September 24 with ECBA member attorneys again volunteering their time and services.  Find more information, including registration and required documents, at: Eriebar.com/wfh
