Yesterday, American Water announced its new Wills for First
Responders service, which offers pro bono, one-time basic estate
planning legal services to first responders within the company’s
service area. The inaugural event, held in conjunction with
Pennsylvania American Water and national law firm Morgan, Lewis
& Bockius LLP, took place at the Norristown municipal building
and benefited 30 local first responders.
“At American Water, we strive not only to provide our customers
with safe, reliable water and wastewater services but also to
support organizations and individuals – like our many dedicated
first responders – working to make our communities better places to
live, work and play,” said Pennsylvania American Water President
Justin Ladner. “We’re grateful for the efforts they make every day
to keep us safe, and it is a true honor to have this opportunity to
show our appreciation to them through our new Wills for First
Responders service.”
Beginning in May 2024, American Water and Morgan Lewis legal
professionals conducted phone interviews with participating first
responders and started document preparation on their behalf. The
process culminated with in-person meetings among American Water,
Morgan Lewis and participating first responders yesterday in
Norristown, PA, where the documents were reviewed, signed and
notarized.
“Thank you to everyone involved - it’s a great service you’re
providing for first responders,” said Bryan Boyer, an officer with
the Norristown Police Department. “Everyone was very clear and
helpful along the process.”
Through the pro bono program, American Water provides several
basic estate planning service options, including wills, financial
power of attorney and health care power of attorney/living will.
Referrals are provided for more complex estate requirements.
The company hopes to continue expanding Wills for First
Responders throughout additional communities in states it
serves.
