Our Gift to You: Free Will Planning

Our Gift to You: Free Will Planning for the People and Causes that Matter the Most

Have you ever thought about what would happen to the people you love if something unexpected happened to you?

No matter your age or stage of life, creating a will is one of the most caring things you can do. It’s not just about finances or possessions, it’s about protecting your children, supporting your loved ones, and ensuring your wishes are honored. For parents, a will allows you to name guardians for your children. For families, it provides clarity and guidance during an already difficult time. And for those who care deeply about their community, a will can be a powerful way to leave a lasting impact on the causes that matter most.

Yet nearly two-thirds of Americans do not have a current will.

That's why, during National Make-A-Will Month this August, Family Service Rochester is making it easier than ever to take this important step.

Already Have a Will? You may want to revisit it or update it.

August is also the perfect time to revisit and update your existing plans. Life changes, and your will should change with it. Consider updating your will if you have:

• Welcomed a child or grandchild
• Experienced a marriage, divorce, or loss of a loved one
• Purchased property or other significant assets
• Changed your charitable priorities
• Not reviewed your will in several years

Even small updates can make a big difference in ensuring your wishes are carried out exactly as intended.

Leave a Legacy of Caring

Many people choose to include a charitable gift in their estate plans because they want their values to extend beyond their lifetime. A future gift to Family Service Rochester can help ensure that children, families, older adults, and individuals continue to receive the support they need for years to come.

Whether you're creating your very first will or updating one you already have, National Make-A-Will Month is the perfect reminder to take this meaningful step for yourself and those you love.
