We have so many things to remember in any given day, we sometimes forget one of the most important things: planning for our future.
Did you know that a majority of people pass away without a will or an estate plan? As uncomfortable as it is, we must think about what will happen to our assets when we are gone. A great first step is thinking about how you want to distribute your assets, how you would like to take care of your children, grandchildren, other loved ones, and Leader Dogs for the Blind. The following are just two of the several ways you can take action on those thoughts.
- Complete your will or trust bequest today. The internet has sites that provide ready made forms for a will and other estate planning tools. If you'd rather work with a person, attorneys that specialize in estate planning are readily available in most areas.
- Designate your life insurance policy with more than one beneficiary. You can also purchase an additional policy and leave the assets to a specific beneficiary. This can be an inexpensive way to make a substantial bequest.
If you have any questions regarding wills or estate planning, please contact our director of personal giving at 888-777-5332 or donorsupport@leaderdog.org.
