First responders eligible for free will and advanced health care directive preparation

Special to The Clinton Courier

Wills for Magnolia State First Responders is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization which brings together volunteer attorneys and paralegals to prepare wills and advanced healthcare directives for Mississippi’s first responders and their spouses free of charge.

The next legal clinic will be held Saturday, March 22, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Rankin County Safe Room and Conference Center, 651 Marquette Road in Brandon. Appointments are necessary, and space is limited. The deadline to schedule an appointment is March 14.

All first responders must sign up for a time slot in order to participate at http://bit.ly/41fERX8 and will be required to fill out an initial questionnaire prior to the event.

First responders will check in at their allotted time, when they will meet with a paralegal to go over their initial questionnaire. Documents will then be drafted on-site by a paralegal and reviewed by an attorney. The attorney will then meet with each first responder and spouse privately to go over their documents. All documents will be signed, witnessed and notarized on-site. Each first responder and spouse will receive their original documents – no copies on-site are retained by WFFRMS.
