Investing For Eternity

Love Worth Finding is available to assist you in developing an estate plan that will address your specific needs now and enable you to leave a legacy for heirs through your last Will and Testament.

As Christians, we are taught and encouraged to witness to others in our talk, in our walk and in our actions while on this earth. You also have an opportunity to continue your witness to family members and others through designated giving in your Will.

A Will is necessary, along with other legal documents, such as health care directives, to complete your estate plan. Some have said that seven out of ten people do not have a Will. Why? Many believe their assets do not merit a will. Be assured, if you own anything, a will is highly advisable. Your assets may be more valuable than you realize when you consider cash, real estate, jewelry, furniture, books, family heirlooms, works of art, and more.

In the absence of an estate plan, or Will, the laws of your state will determine the distribution of your assets. A personal Will gives you the opportunity to have your wishes respected after you are gone. Consider the thought that a Christian’s Will should be different with its ability to influence.

Characteristics of a Christian’s Will

1. Testifies to your faith in Jesus Christ.
2. Recognizes that everything you have comes from God and belongs to Him.
3. Seeks to extend your witness and belief in Jesus Christ to future generations.
