<p>In partnership with the Pennsylvania Bar Association Young Lawyers Division and Widener School of Law and with sponsorship by Ballard Spahr LLP, we are proud to bring the <strong>Wills for Heroes </strong>program to you.<strong>&nbsp; Wills for Heroes </strong>is a <strong><em>free</em></strong> and easy service that provides Wills, Living Wills, Health Care and Financial Powers of Attorney to first responders, military veterans and their spouses/partners.</p>
<p>If you die without a Will, Pennsylvania&rsquo;s intestate laws will determine who will receive your property.&nbsp; Undoubtedly, your loved ones&rsquo; grief will be overwhelming; a clear expression of your intent, desires, and wishes may help ease some of this inevitable burden.&nbsp; While nobody likes to think about an untimely death, it is best that you express your wishes through a written document.&nbsp; For your family&rsquo;s peace of mind, please consider this invaluable opportunity, offered completely free to you and your spouse/partner.</p>
<p>On <strong>April 9, 2016<strong>, volunteer </strong></strong>lawyers will be conducting a <strong><em>Wills for Heroes</em></strong> Program for all<strong> active and retired Pennsylvania First Responders, and Pennsylvania Military Veterans, and</strong> all sworn personnel and their spouses/significant others (please note that proof of affiliation will be requested at the event).&nbsp; The <strong>April 9, 2016 </strong>event will be held at <strong>the Widener School of Law, beginning at 11am</strong>.&nbsp; Appointments for each person last approximately 1 hour and at the conclusion of it you will have notarized legal documents &ndash; a Will, Living Will, and Health Care and Financial Powers of Attorney (or any combination thereof).&nbsp; If you select that you are coming with a spouse/significant other you will have back to back appointments, and the computer will automatically schedule a second appointment.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>You do not need to schedule a separate appointment.&nbsp; Please schedule your appointment early as this event is sure to fill up fast.</strong></p>
<p>Appointments must be scheduled online at:&nbsp; www.pabar.org/wfh/</p>
