Dayton Bar
Association: Wills for Heros
Police officers, firefighters
and EMTs put their lives at risk on a daily basis to protect our
safety, health and well-being. With this sobering thought
in mind, it seems like common sense to provide these first
responders with easy access to legal services for wills, living
wills and power of attorney documents. The Dayton Bar
Association, with the help of Lexis Nexis and volunteers from
the surrounding community, successfully implemented the national
Wills fro Heros program in the greater Dayton area in 2008, with
upcoming events scheduled for... September and October 2009.
The program gives emergency
and law enforcement personnel a chance to meet with volunteer
member attorneys, magistrates, paralegals and law students to
plan for their families' futures in the event of tragedy.
Created shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks,
Wills for Heros has provided more than 7,000 free estate
planning documents and legal services to first responders in 10
different states.
What is Wills For Heroes?
Wills For
Heroes programs
provide free wills and other estate
planning documents to first responders and their spouse or
domestic partner. Qualified first responders include
firefighters, police officers, paramedics, corrections and
probation officers from federal, state, county, city and town
departments and agencies.
How Do I Participate?
In advance of the Wills for Heroes event,
participants download and complete an
estate planning questionnaire (pdf
file). Receiving the questionnaire ahead of time is an important
step in this process because it allows participants to think through
a number of important decisions and discuss them with their spouse,
partner, or other trusted friends.
Upon arrival at the Wills for Heroes event, the first
responder signs in and executes a disclaimer. The participant is
assigned to an attorney who reviews the questionnaire and inputs the
information from the questionnaire into a laptop loaded with HotDocsŪ
document automation software by LexisNexis. The attorney reviews the
draft estate planning documents with the first responder participant
to insure that each person understands and agrees to what they are
executing. Once finalized, the documents are signed, witnessed and
notarized in a formal signing ceremony. On average, it takes about
an hour to complete the estate planning documents. The Wills for
Heroes program does not keep a copy of the participant�s documents
or information.

Hi
Everyone,
I haven't said anything to anybody about this until now because I wanted
to wait until everything had been completed. We purchased a one bedroom
home in the Outer Banks N.C. as an investment property.
Escrow finally closed this week and I thought I would let you know in
case you're interested in renting. It's available for weekends or
on a weekly basis. Initially I will be handling bookings until I find
an agent in the area to manage the property.
In order to offset the closing costs, weekends will cost approximately
$50 (family
and friends' rate) for three nights, and $100 for the week. But,
I can only
give out these rates until April 1, 2005. It's a one bedroom high rise
unit that overlooks the ocean, nestled among lush
greens, and has
a lovely ocean view from every window! I am taking reservations as early
as next week. Have a look and see the great
luxury spot in Paradise!
Simply Breathtaking!
Attached is a photo, so let me know if you are interested.
Respectfully,
Lt. R. Elsner
(Retired)
Dearest friends,
Eat your heart out and drool. Just
kidding! I just bagged this beautiful thing about 750 clicks north west of here.
You can see how happy I was. It is a beautiful Roe Deer Buck, which is hunted
here in Europe in the spring.
Love you all, Tony
Bayot, Spain

Retirement is very good for Brother
