National Make-A-Will Month

August is National Make-A-Will Month and we are excited to announce HCBC’s recent investment in FreeWill — an online legacy planning platform that can walk you through the process of writing a legal will, for free.

We know this isn’t the type of resource you’re used to seeing from us, but estate planning is an important life task and a powerful way to support the people and causes you value. We share this resource to help you plan for your future — just as your support has planned for the future of HCBC.

Why estate planning? No matter what your “estate” includes, everyone needs a plan. Having a legal will in place is a powerful way to protect your loved ones, steward your resources, and create a lasting impact with the ministries you value.

Why FreeWill? Nearly two-thirds of American adults don’t have a legal estate plan and many in our community may not have a trusted place to start. FreeWill removes the time and monetary constraints that surround this important task by providing an easy-to-use online platform that has already helped 550,000+ individuals write their legal will.

This resource might not be right for everyone, as each person's estate planning needs vary. However, if you don’t have a legal will in place yet, we hope this resource can be of service to you and your loved ones.
