Dear Friends,
Planning a trip with my granddaughter, Abby, reminds me of how much time most people spend in planning just one vacation. The first decision is where to go. Then, how do you get there? What are the attractions you want to take in? When should you go and how much time do you have? Most of us spend more time planning one vacation than we do planning our estate throughout our entire life. Since creating an estate plan is deciding the distribution of a lifetime of accumulated assets (in most cases, worth hundreds of thousands of dollars), maybe one should take some time to learn about the many options available - particularly the charitable options. For a personal free consultation about creating a charitable estate plan based on your own circumstances, call me at 1 (888) 482-8425 or e-mail bilowp@oh.lcms.org.
