Volunteer Opportunity:
Attorneys and Witnesses Needed to Help Our First Responders & Veterans!
|
|
The Wills for Heroes Program seek Attorney Volunteers to participate in an event hosted by Merck Co., Inc. and the Pennsylvania Bar Association Pro Bono office to provide local First Responders and Veterans with Free Estate Planning Documents.
WHERE:
Merck and Co., Inc., 10 Avenue D, Riverside, PA 17868
WHEN:
Saturday, September 21st, from 9AM-4PM
WHAT:
“Wills for Heroes” is a free service that provides wills, living wills, health care and financial powers of attorneys to first responders or veterans and their spouses, partners, and significant others. At the conclusion of the one-hour appointments with Lawyer Volunteers, first responders/veterans leave with a fully executed set of estate documents.
WHY:
First responders and Veterans selflessly devote their lives to serving our communities and country. Despite the inherently dangerous nature of their jobs, an overwhelmingly large number of these individuals – approximately 80-90% -- do not have wills. (This figure is based on experiential date from state and national first responder organizations).
EVENT INFORMATION:
We are seeking 8+ lawyers, 3-4 notaries and 6-8 witnesses (who do not need to be lawyers) for the event. Lawyer volunteers do not need to practice trust and estate law. We will conduct a one-hour refresher course the morning of the event to familiarize Lawyer Volunteers with what they need to know. In addition, we will conduct training on the computer-based program used to generate the estate documents. Lawyers who are well versed in estate planning will be available throughout the event to answer any questions that may arise. The event usually runs from 9AM -4PM with training from 9-11AM. Appointments begin at 11AM. If you have recently participated in a Wills for Heroes Event and do not need the training, you should arrive at 10:30AM. Breakfast and lunch will be provided. To volunteer email Gabriele Miller-Wagner at

About the Wills for Heroes Program
Each first responder sits with a Lawyer Volunteer to review a questionnaire that the first responder has filled out in advance. The Lawyer Volunteer enters the information into a computer-based program and reviews the documents with the first responder to ensure accuracy. The documents are printed, reviewed by one of the experts, signed, and notarized.
