August Is National Make a Will Month

Make a Lasting Impact

Did you know that more than half of U.S. adults don’t have a will?

For many people, it’s something they’ve been meaning to do but just haven’t gotten around to it. That’s why August is recognized as National Make-A-Will Month; it’s  reminder to take this important step for the people and causes you care about.

No matter your age of the size of your estate, a Will helps protect what God has blessed you with. Writing a Will can help:

  • Assign guardians for children and pets
  • Make a plan about who will receive family heirlooms, real estate, or other possessions
  • Make a powerful legacy and help you spread the love of Christ

During Make-A-Will Month, Central Ohio Youth for Christ wants to help you complete or update your Will at no charge to you through either group workshops or individual coaching sessions (in-person or by Zoom). See below for dates and times.

All sessions are led by Legacy Giving Coach, Tom Aakhus. Our desire is to help you develop an individualized plan as good stewards of all God has entrusted to you.

Tom will help you prepare all of your essential documents including a Will, Durable Power of Attorney, Health Care Directives, etc. He will also cover how you can employ tax-saving options in your estate plan.
