Your Legacy – Will & Estate Planning

Life is a precious gift from God, and it’s our responsibility to be good stewards. Planning for the future is an essential aspect of this responsibility. Although thinking about the inevitable may not be pleasant, it’s a wise and compassionate act to consider it. Creating a will and estate plan is crucial to ensure that your affairs are in order and your wishes are respected.

Will & Estate Planning. A will is a legal document that expresses your wishes for the distribution of your assets after your death. It also names a guardian for your minor children. Without a will, your assets will be distributed according to state law, which may not be what you want.

Estate planning also includes setting up a trust, creating financial powers of attorney, and naming beneficiaries for your insurance policies and retirement accounts.

These documents can help to ensure that your wishes are carried out after your death and that your loved ones are not burdened with the legal and financial challenges of probate. In addition, planning allows you to leave a lasting impact on the organizations you hold dear. By including charitable donations in your estate plan, you can continue supporting the church and other philanthropic endeavors beyond your lifetime.

Will & estate planning is essential to responsible stewardship. By addressing these matters, you can protect your loved ones, honor your values, and ensure that your legacy aligns with your faith and beliefs.
