Are You Fully Leveraging the Power of Your Will?

Your will is the final expression of your values. The individuals, institutions, and causes that you remember in your will tell quite a bit about you.

Bequests Allow You to Make Gifts That Cost Nothing Now

Each year thousands of individuals, exercising their privilege to determine the final distribution of their estates, designate that a portion of their assets be used for the benefit and support of charitable organizations.

When a business interest constitutes a substantial portion of an estate and the surviving spouse has little knowledge of or interest in the business, special problems can arise.

Planning Can Make a Huge Difference to Your Loved Ones

In planning a will, you should first determine the loved ones and causes, such as The Community Foundation for Greater New Haven, that you wish to benefit - and then consider the options that will be most effective in preserving assets for your beneficiaries.
