The Hillsborough County Bar Association, in conjunction with the national Wills for Heroes Foundation, has established a Wills for Heroes program for Hillsborough County, Florida. The Wills for Heroes programs provide essential legal documents free of charge to Hillsborough County’s first responders and their spouses or domestic partners, including wills, health care advance directives and durable powers of attorney. Qualified first responders include firefighters, police officers, paramedics and corrections and probation officers from federal, state, county, city and town departments and agencies. By helping first responders plan now, they ensure their families' legal affairs are in order before a tragedy hits. The Wills for Heroes Program is supported by the Hillsborough County Bar Association and donations from the community.
The Wills for Heroes Program always welcomes new volunteers. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer with the Wills for Heroes Program, please printout and complete our Volunteer Questionnaire form, and return it to us as indicated on the form.
