Write A Will Week October 22 – 26, 2018 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 This is an opportunity for you to have a Simple Will created with volunteer attorneys. Simple Wills that contain at least one charitable bequest will be written at no cost. Write-a-Will participant, Amy, says she and her husband have different reasons for planning a will. She does it to ease the burden on her family when she passes. Her husband's reason was to ensure the family knows their wishes regarding their finances. When asked about supporting organizations with a Simple Will Amy said they support charitable organizations because they believe that God calls them to do so. "We feel our financial contributions help to minister God’s word when we give to charitable organizations. Why would we choose not to leave this legacy at our passing?"

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?
