Legal Documents every First Responder needs with Wendy K Reynolds
Wendy K Reynolds is an expert in Estate Planning and, as we learn from this episode of What’s Your Emergency, an accomplished lawyer, DA and judge.
This week we tackle a confusing topic: legal documents. Many years ago, co-host Justin developed a Family Disaster Plan that includes copies of important legal documents so that your family doesn’t have to go through a complicated court process in the case of your incapacitation or death.
Wendy has prepared documents for Justin and his family here in California and the process was so much better than those “Lawyer in a box” software deals or the “wills for heroes” events your organization may throw together.
In this episode we discuss:
- What documents every first responder should have prepared
- How to make sure you’re dealing with a person who cares
- Why having an estate plan doesn’t require an actual estate like you think
- How Wendy was found half dead in a car crash that killed her parents and 14 month old sister
Yes, Wendy’s family was killed by a drunk driver at the age of 5 and if not for a passing family friend who asked “Where’s the other daughter?” would have been missed in the wreckage of the family car.
To say she has a special place in her heart for first responders is an understatement and we greatly appreciate her help this week.
BOLO
