Why You Should Make a Will and How to Get Started for Free

Did you know that nearly 70% of Americans haven’t made a will yet? If you’re one of them, you’re not alone. Good news: planning your legacy and supporting a cause close to your heart just got a whole lot easier. 

The American Brain Tumor Association (ABTA), in partnership with LifeLegacy, is offering online last will and testament services completely free of charge so you can create your will from the comfort of your home. 

Why Should I Make a Will? 

Control Over Your Assets: Creating a will allows you to decide exactly how your assets will be distributed after your death. This helps prevent disputes among family members and ensures your wishes are honored. 

Peace of Mind: Knowing that your affairs are in order can provide peace of mind for you and your loved ones. It can also reduce the stress and uncertainty that often accompanies the loss of a loved one. 

Tax Benefits: Proper estate planning can minimize the tax burden on your heirs, potentially saving them a significant amount of money. 

What Are the Benefits of Designating an Estate Gift to the ABTA? 

Sustained Funding: Planned gifts, like bequests, provide vital, continuous funding to organizations like the ABTA. This consistent support allows us to plan for the future and assist tomorrow’s generations. Legacy donors help fund brain tumor research grants and provide critical support programs to patients and their families. 

Legacy of Giving: You can take pride in pledging your lasting support toward the brain tumor community. If you lost a loved one or know someone who is battling a brain tumor, you can find solace in honoring their legacy while making a difference. 

Impact of Planned Gifts: These gifts help drive progress in understanding and treating brain tumors. By leaving a gift, you become part of the ongoing effort to improve outcomes for patients and families affected by this devastating disease. 

How Does the LifeLegacy Process Work? 

The online platform guides you through the process step-by-step, making it easy to create a comprehensive last will and testament for free. Note that you don’t have to leave a gift to a charitable organization to use this service. 

Using LifeLegacy will ensure that your will complies with all legal requirements, thanks to the expertise of professionals involved in developing the platform. 

Take Control of Your Legacy Today 

Planning your legacy shouldn’t be daunting or expensive. Now, you can take control of your estate while making a meaningful contribution to a cause that matters to you. Don’t wait any longer—take this opportunity to leave a lasting impact on the fight against brain tumors.
