Ways to Give

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is an estate plan and why do I need one?

Although the word “estate” might sound overwhelming, it simply represents all the property you own at the time you pass away. An estate plan, which can range from a simple will to a more complex trust, conveys your instructions for how you want your property to one day pass to loved ones and/or charities.

Without an estate plan, the State where you live determines how your property will be distributed. Here we provide helpful information about how you can make sure your wishes are honored.
