A Donor's View

I have a will. A few months ago I couldn't say that. It took the death of a close friend to wake me up. Let me tell you about my will.

My will reflects my wishes. Instead of the court appointing an executor, my son will handle this, and without bond. My will makes provision for family members in a way state statutes would not do. My will establishes a trust to benefit my wife, Sue, and reduces estate taxes. My will lets me disburse money to my children and grandchild in an orderly and prolonged manner. My will identifies several charities, including Heifer International, to receive special bequests. In short, my will allocates my assets according to my desires. My will is legal, up-to-date, and provides great peace of mind. Does yours?
