Write-a-Will 2024

"Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you."
- Luke 6:38
 
Have a Simple Will created with a volunteer attorney for no cost when you include at least one charitable bequest!

WBCL has provided hope and encouragement to listeners since 1976 through the support of generous listeners like you. We hope to continue to do so for many more years. When you provide a legacy gift to WBCL, you help to ensure future generations will be able to listen to WBCL. You can do this through an estate gift, bequest, gift of stock, donor advised funds, or by naming WBCL as a beneficiary of a retirement account or life insurance policy.

Contact Dana at dana@wbcl.org or 260.745.0576 to schedule an appointment to have a simple will created with a volunteer attorney for no cost when you include WBCL in your bequest. 

 
What is a Simple Will?
A Simple Will is one that allows for the naming of a personal representative for the estate, allows for simple, direct distributions of assets to surviving spouse, charities, and/or other beneficiaries and follows all applicable state requirements for witnesses and signatures.  It may contain guardian appointments if there are children under age 18.

Who needs a Will?
EVERY person of legal age and of sound mind who owns personal or real property should have a Will.

Why should you have a Will?

  • To ensure that your family and loved ones will be protected and taken care of when you die
  • To minimize estate or inheritance taxes
  • You can leave money to your family AND your favorite charitable organization
  • It is the only way to ensure that your wishes will be carried out after you’re gone, instead of having the law determine who inherits your assets
  • Without a Will, your estate administration may be chaotic and far more costly than if you die with a valid Will
  • Allows you to include a personalized statement of your faith or values
  • YOU can make a DIFFERENCE in the lives of others!

WBCL knows that many of our listeners have a strong desire to help our ministry reach others for Christ and continue to provide Christ-centered, life-changing music and teaching to encourage one another in our walk with God.  We strive to assist our donors who want to make a difference in the lives of others and future generations through their will, trust, insurance policy, retirement plan, or other plan.
