A Lasting Legacy

August is Make a Will Month. Many of us put off making a will, but having a will is incredibly important at any age!

• Making a will allows you to ensure that your assets, your beloved possessions, and even your pets are taken care of after your passing.
• A will limits family conflict during a very difficult time, and it ensures that what you want to do for those you care about is honored.
• It provides an opportunity to create a lasting legacy.

Meals on Wheels Diablo Region offers an estate planning tool called FreeWill. In as little as 20 minutes and at no cost, you can make a will that ensures your wishes are honored and your legacy lives on by donating to the causes you believe in, like Meals on Wheels Diablo Region.

Last year, over 70,000 people across the country utilized FreeWill's user-friendly estate planning tool to create personalized plans and extend their support to cherished causes.

"It is so important to ensure that your assets, your beloved possessions, and even your pets are taken care of after your passing,” says Caitlin Sly, Executive Director of MOW Diablo Region. “By offering our FreeWill’s free online platform we are helping individuals creating a lasting legacy by ensuring their assets are distributed according to their wishes."

Making a will is too important to put off another day. Join the thousands of people who'll be making a will through FreeWill this August during Make a Will month.
