SERVING ERIE COUNTY, NY

Named for its location along one of the five Great Lakes, which itself was named after a Native American tribe, Erie County encompasses all of the city of Buffalo, its suburbs, and a collection of towns to the south, known locally as the Southtowns. Buffalo holds the county seat, and plans have been discussed to merge the county together with the city under a single consolidated government, though the idea is controversial. Residents of the county can enjoy sporting events featuring their local football and hockey teams, the renowned Albright-Know Art Gallery, the annual Erie County Fair (one of the largest in the nation), as well as a zoo, botanical garden, science museum, and more! The census bureau estimates the area’s population to be 919,719 as of 2018, with 15.9% of people being age 65 or older. For senior citizens, people approaching retirement age, and anyone in general who cares what happens to their possessions and family in the event of their passing, it is important to have a proper will drafted.
