Wills for Heroes

By

From February 7-8, 2024, the North Carolina Bar Foundation held a Wills for Heroes clinic serving first responders and their families.

The North Carolina Bar Foundation Wills for Heroes program provides simple wills, health care powers of attorney, and powers of attorney to eligible first responders and their spouses. These legal documents enable first responders and their spouses to think through and plan for important medical and financial decisions.

Attorney Amber D. King was one of many attorneys and notaries who volunteered to prepare legal documents.

“I hope this experience helps first responder families feel less anxious about the future, and enables first responders to focus on enjoying time with loved ones.”  – Attorney Amber D. King

Wilson Ratledge honors all first responders for the outstanding service and dedication they provide to our community. Thank you for all you do!
