Did you know that if you are a police officer, firefighter, or other first responder, you may be able to get free estate planning services? Inspired by the events of September 11, 2001, the Wills for Heroes Foundation was established to provide first responders and their spouses with simple estate planning services. The American Bar Association Young Lawyers Division has selected the Wills for Heroes Foundation for its 2007-2008 national public service project and several state bar associations have started Wills for Heroes programs. Check with your state bar association for more information. For information on Minnesota’s Wills for Heroes program, check out the Minnesota State Bar Association’s Wills for Heroes page.
