JUNE 2024 | 91 THE OKLAHOMA BAR JOURNAL for us. They put their lives on the line every day to protect us. We’re grateful that the Young Lawyers Division found a path to give back to these individuals in a way that could significantly benefit them and their families. Having an estate plan in order is something that we should all have but is often overlooked by many. Providing free last wills and testaments may sound a bit morbid, but it is one of the few things we can do to take the burden off of them and their loved ones. With everything these selfless individuals do for us, offering free wills to them is the least we can do, and this program is only scratching the surface. There is so much more we, as legal professionals, can do to support these individuals.” On behalf of the YLD, we want to thank the OBA for honoring both Caroline Shaffer Siex and the Wills for Heroes program. The YLD is humbled, and we will continue to provide these services, hopefully even more expansively, to better serve all that we can. If you’re a young lawyer and want to get involved, come to the OBA Annual Meeting in July! We’d love to meet you! Ms. Talbert is a lawyer in Oklahoma City and serves as the YLD chairperson. She may be contacted at lrtalbert@gmail.com. YLD members provide free legal services to a client during a 2023 Wills for Heroes event.
