Protect assets and provide for heirs with Estate Planning
Whether you have a very modest estate or an estate worth millions of dollars, you need an Estate Plan to ensure that your assets will be distributed according to your wishes. When final plans are completed in a thoughtful manner with the assistance of qualified advisors, a good Estate Plan will:
- Help protect your assets
- Provide for care of children and other heirs
- Specify the assets that will be transferred to your heirs and document the processes for transferring these assets
- Minimize taxes, attorney and probate fees
Planned Giving - An important part of Estate Planning
Planned Giving is the charitable component of an overall Estate Plan that allows you to dedicate a portion of your assets to continue charitable work you have supported during your lifetime. An Estate Plan that includes Planned Giving should be carefully thought out. We at The Fellowship offer these three guidelines:
- Prayer for God’s guidance provides the foundation for a well thought out Estate Plan
- Planning identifies the people, property, and organization(s) that will be part of your plan
- Professionals help develop the proper documents to execute your Estate Plan
This area of our website provides the information and resources you need to understand Planned Giving. You have the option of reading each topic individually or you can download and print our Planned Giving Ideas and Options brochure. If you have any questions, don't forget that The Fellowship's staff is here to help! Call (888) 588-4325 to speak to one of our Planned Giving professionals.
We hope these resources help you achieve your financial goals as you seek to provide for your heirs and support the lifesaving work of The Fellowship, following the biblical commandment "to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter - when you see the naked, to clothe him" (Isaiah 58:7).
