Will clinic offered First Responders

The Washington State Bar Association Young Lawyers Division will host a First Responder Will Clinic from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, April 4 at Bellevue City Hall.

The free event is offered to Bellevue firefighters and police officers and their spouses (an appointment is required).

At the clinic volunteer attorneys will provide free estate-planning advice and documents,

such as wills, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives.

First responders are asked to complete a thorough questionnaire before arriving at the clinic, and once there, they are given the chance to meet with a volunteer attorney for approximately an hour. The first responders will leave the clinic with signed and executed estate-planning documents in hand.

The program hopes that first responders can take comfort in the fact that they go to work each day knowing

that their estate plan has been thought out and is in order.
