National Estate Planning Awareness Week: Planning Our Legacy
This week join your fellow Americans and take the time to draft or update your will, establish trusts, and name powers of attorney before the holidays and year end is upon us. This is a great time to check will writing and estate planning off the list! Give your loved ones a clear path to follow and yourself peace of mind.
We want to make sure everyone in our Lighthouse community has the resources to ensure their legacy is in order, and their estate is up to date.
Our partner, FreeWill, can guide you through a quick update or get you started writing your first will. Take a few minutes this week to:
- Prepare your will to plan for the distribution of your assets and name a trusted guardian for any dependent children.
- Name Financial Power of Attorney and an Advance Healthcare Directive to make crucial decisions for your future if you are unable to.
- Designate beneficiaries for additional assets, such as a life insurance policy or 401(k).
- Ensure a bright and sustainable future for individuals who are blind and DeafBlind by making a planned gift. Your gift secures the future of programs and services that create opportunities for upward mobility, self-sufficiency, and independence.
