Gifts from Your Will or Trust

Need to preserve assets? You can plan a gift to us that will take effect only after your other obligations are fulfilled.

To help you get started on your plans and legacy, you can use FreeWill, an online tool that guides you through the process of creating your will or trust. It’s easy to use, accessible online, and can be completed in 20 minutes.

You can use this resource on its own or to document your wishes before finalizing your plans with an attorney.

Have you already included a gift in your will or trust? Please fill out this form to let us know! We would love to thank you for your generosity.

Beneficiaries

Do you have an IRA, 401(k), life insurance policy, or any other assets not included in your will? If so, these are called non-probate assets, and you must plan your beneficiaries for them separately.

Beneficiary Designations

Did you know?

Having a valid will in place isn’t enough.
Assets you pass on outside of your will are called non-probate assets. They include lRAs, 401(k)s, pensions, life insurance policies, and certain bank and brokerage accounts.
If beneficiaries are properly set for these non-probate assets, ownership can transfer faster than your assets that must go through probate.
