Everyday life is hectic and it's easy to forget about important tasks like estate planning. Surprisingly, nearly 70 percent of American adults do not have a legal will. WUCF has partnered with FreeWill to honor National Make-A-Will Month this August. Through this partnership, WUCF aims to provide our community with the necessary tools and resources to ensure their estate plans are in order.
Having a legal will is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, it allows individuals to dictate how their assets and belongings will be distributed upon their passing. This ensures that their loved ones are taken care of and that their wishes are respected. Additionally, a will can help minimize potential conflicts and disputes among family members, providing clarity and peace of mind during a difficult time.
To make the process of creating a will more accessible and convenient, WUCF has partnered with FreeWill. FreeWill is an online platform that offers a free, user-friendly will-writing tool.
