Walden. Jacobowitz and Gubits offers free simple will to first responders and military personnel during September

In honor and remembrance of 9/11, the law firm Jacobowitz and Gubits, LLP, is offering a free simple will to active and retired first responders and military personnel who reside in Orange, Sullivan or Ulster counties during September.

“We understand how important first responders and the military are to our community,” said Managing Partner Michele Babcock. “They continue to risk their lives for our safety every day. This is our way of showing our appreciation while helping them take care of their families. This will be our fifth consecutive year of honoring our area first responders with this service and our first year of including our valued area military personnel.”

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.

Area first responders and military personnel interested in having J&G prepare a simple will can contact our office by phone at (845) 764-8828 or through the website at www.jacobowitz.com.

The law firm has offices in Walden and Monticello.
