National Estate Planning Awareness Week began in 2008 to help the public understand estate planning and its vital role in financial wellness.
Careful estate planning, including the designation of beneficiaries, considerations regarding organ donation and life support, as well as durable powers of attorney for health care, can significantly reduce confusion among family members or heirs upon the death of a loved one. Assets, life insurance, pensions, real estate, cars, personal belongings, and debts are part of one’s estate and can be considered when deciding what your legacy looks like for the individuals and charities near and dear to you.
Consider an act of generosity by remembering HFOT in your estate plans. Our partnership with Freewill, a free online estate planning resource, makes it easy for everyone, regardless of age or wealth, to create a plan for free in just 20 minutes. You can significantly impact the lives of our severely injured Veterans by restoring some of the freedom and independence they sacrificed while defending our country. Your legacy will continue to help our mission of Building Homes and Rebuilding Lives.
