Estate Planning

Estate planning may be the single most important act of stewardship that most of us as Christians will ever perform.

Most of us would agree that estate planning is important, yet a surprising number of Americans haven't made even basic preparations for their passing: according to industry reports, 70 percent of American adults don't have a will. Sadly, many will die without making their wishes known, leaving family or the government to sort out critical estate details.

What are the reasons for delaying an estate planning decision? Usually it's uncertainty over how to go about preparing an estate plan; how to choose proper counsel; or the cost of estate planning services.

To assist WMU members and supporters in meeting this critical need, Kentucky WMU has partnered with the Kentucky Baptist Foundation and PhilanthroCorp to provide Christian estate planning tools. These tools and folks at the Kentucky Baptist Foundation can help you provide for your family as well as the Lord's work through an estate plan that will also help you avoid unncessary taxes and expenses.

You can continue to make a difference that will impact eternity, even after you're gone. Great resources are just a click away. Learn more. Or, go directly to the Estate Planning Organizer
