It's National Estate Planning Awareness Month!
October is National Estate Planning Awareness Month, a perfect time to reflect on your legacy and ensure your future wishes are clearly outlined. Estate planning is not just for the wealthy — it’s for everyone who wants to protect their loved ones, ensure their assets are distributed according to their wishes, and avoid unnecessary stress down the road. Whether you’re just starting or need to update an existing plan, the ELCA Foundation is here to help guide you through the process.
