REGION — Jacobowitz and Gubits, LLP (J&G) is extending a special offer to area first responders during the month of September. In honor and remembrance of 9/11, J&G is offering a free simple will to first responders who reside in Orange, Sullivan, or Ulster Counties.

“We understand how important first responders are to our community,” said Michele Babcock, managing partner. “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 family. This will be our third consecutive year of honoring our area first responders with this service.”

Many people are surprised to learn that New York probate court judges are under no legal obligation to assign assets to a surviving spouse in the event that the deceased left no will. Having a legal will in place is the only way to ensure that a person’s assets and final wishes will be granted upon their death.

First responders interested in having J&G prepare a simple will can contact their office by phone 845/778-2121 or through their website at www. jacobowitz.com.
