tabWills/POAs 
A will is a written legal declaration of how personal property should be distributed after death. The Office can assist eligible personnel in preparing a will.

A Power of attorney is written authorization for one to act as an agent on behalf of another. They are routinely granted to allow the agent to take care of a variety of transactions for the principal, such as selling a vehicle, shipping household goods, or buying a house. Powers of attorney can be written to give general (full) or limited (special) authority. A power of attorney generally is terminated when the principal dies or becomes incompetent, but the principal can revoke the power of attorney at any time.

Before coming to the legal office to see an attorney, members should visit the Air Force Legal Assistance web site to complete a will and/or POA questionnaire and e-mail your will ticket number to 5bw.los@us.af.mil.

Except for extreme circumstances, wills are by appointment only.
