July 7, 2010 – The warm summer months are here – and so are many Wills for Heroes clinics. Attorney volunteers are needed to step up and be a hero for the men and women in our community who are willing to risk their lives to help others. Eligible first responders, including police, firefighters, and EMTs receive free, basic estate planning education and estate plans in Wisconsin Wills for Heroes clinics.
This summer, Saturday clinics are set for:
July 17, Thiensville
July 31, South Milwaukee
August 14, Milwaukee
August 21, Random Lake
Clinics are also set for Sept. 11 in Brookfield and Oct. 2 in Greenfield. To volunteer for a clinic, to view the full calendar, or to learn more about the program, visit Wills for Heroes.
Don’t worry if you aren’t an estate planning attorney. Training as well as the forms and equipment you’ll need to help in this project will be provided.
No clinics scheduled near you? Contact the Pro Bono Coordinator Jeff Brown if you’d like to help organize clinics in your area. The program also needs volunteers to help with planning and outreach.
