Did you know that August is Make a Will Month? While creating a will might not be at the top of your to-do list, it’s one of the most important ways to protect your loved ones—both two-legged and four-legged.
A will ensures your wishes are carried out and provides peace of mind for your family. It’s also an opportunity to make lasting commitments to the causes you care about most. Many people choose to include a charitable gift in their will, creating a legacy that extends far beyond their lifetime.
If you share your life with pets, a will can also safeguard their future by designating who will care for them if you’re no longer able to. Planning ahead means your pets will continue to receive the love and care they deserve.
This August, take time to create or update your will. Protect your family, your pets, and your legacy. A little planning now makes a world of difference later.
