Greetings and Blessings!
As Catholics, we are called to be faithful stewards of God’s blessings. With National Make-A-Will Month coming up this August, we invite you to prepare for the future, helping ensure your values and legacy continue to care for those you love and the ministries you cherish.
Through thoughtful estate planning, you can:
- Create or update your will /trust, Power of Attorney, Living Will or Temporary Guardianship.
- Guarantee your wishes are clearly documented.
- Protect and steward the assets God has entrusted to your care.
- Ensure your values are reflected in your legacy.
- Provide for and support those you love.
- Continue supporting the ministries you cherish for generations to come.
If you need an estate planning attorney, The Catholic Foundation is blessed to have Catholic estate planning attorneys on our Planned Giving Advisory Council.
We also understand creating a will might be overwhelming or everyone might not have the same estate planning needs. You can create or update your legal will by using our free, easy-to-use tool in about 20 minutes, powered by FreeWill. Another way to help you create, update, or finalize your estate planning documents is to join us for our FREE Wine & Wills event on Tuesday, August 25, from 5:00–7:00 p.m. at Bishop Moore Catholic High School.
At the event, you’ll have the opportunity to learn more about estate planning, ask questions, and receive guidance from experienced Catholic estate attorneys and philanthropic advisors. For added convenience, notaries will be available onsite to validate your documents promptly and accurately with ease.
To help you safeguard the blessings God has entrusted to you, we’re honored to offer these resources as a gift. We hope they provide guidance, clarity, and peace of mind as you plan for the future!
Together in Christ,
Madelyn T. Weed
P.S. Did you know? Your will does not control the distribution of certain assets (called non-probate assets), such as an IRA, 401(k), or life insurance policy. To ensure these assets go to the people and/or charities you care about most, be sure your beneficiary forms are up-to-date today.
