Did you know that nearly 2 out of 3 American adults still don’t have an up-to-date will?
That’s why National Estate Planning Awareness Week (October 20-26) is so important. It’s a reminder to take a simple yet powerful step to protect your loved ones, plan for the future, and support the causes that matter to you.
At the Skagit Y, we invite you to take an easy, meaningful step toward protecting everything—and everyone—you care about. We’ve partnered with FreeWill to make creating a will easier than ever. In just 20 minutes, you can create or update your will for free and find additional resources to plan wisely.
Having a current will is essential for several reasons:
- Peace of Mind: It provides reassurance for you and your family.
- Asset Distribution: It ensures your assets are distributed to your chosen beneficiaries, including loved ones, pets, and charitable causes.
- Healthcare Directives: You can designate an individual to make healthcare decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated.
- Community Impact: It allows you to build a lasting legacy that will foster positive community change for future generations of Skagitonians.
Thank you for being part of our mission and taking this small act of care for your loved ones this National Estate Planning Awareness Week.
