LEGAL SERVICES FIRST RESPONDERS
We understand how important first responders and military personnel are to our community. In honor and remembrance of 9/11 and to thank those first responders (fire, police and EMTs) and military personnel who continue to risk their lives for our safety, J&G would like to extend a special offer Any active or retired first responders or military personnel whose primary residence is in Orange, Sullivan, or Ulster counties can receive a free simple Will during the month of September. It’s our way of helping protect you and your families.
Many people are surprised to learn that when a person in New York dies without a Will, state law determines how the person’s assets are distributed. Having a legal Will in place is the only way to ensure that a person’s wishes will be carried out upon their death
A Last Will and Testament is a document that disposes of your property upon your death If you do not make a Will, state law prescribes what happens to your property. For example, under that law, if you leave behind a spouse and children, your spouse gets the first $50,000 in value. Your spouse then gets one-half of the remainder, and your children jointly get the other half. Most people do not like this arrangement so they make their own Will State law also has requirements as to how Wills are to be written and signed If those requirements are not met, administering the estate can be delayed, and the Will might be held to be invalid
