WILLS & TRUSTS
Leave More Than an Inheritance.
Create an estate plan that cares for the people you love, reflects your faith, and can continue your generosity for generations.
A THOUGHTFUL ACT OF STEWARDSHIP
Your Estate Plan Can Care for What Matters Most.
A will or trust can provide clarity for your family while helping you steward the people, resources, and convictions God has entrusted to you.
Care for Loved Ones
Provide clear direction for the people and responsibilities entrusted to your care.
Communicate Your Wishes
Name the people who should carry out your plan and document your intentions clearly.
Continue Your Kingdom Impact
Include your church, The Alliance, or other ministries in the legacy you leave.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR OPTIONS
Will or Trust? Start With Your Goals.
Both can play an important role in an estate plan. The right approach depends on your family, assets, wishes, and state law.
A Will May Help You:
Name the people or organizations that will receive assets governed by your will
Choose an executor to carry out your instructions
Name guardians for minor children, subject to court approval
Include charitable gifts as part of your estate plan
A Revocable Living Trust May Help You:
Manage assets that have been transferred into the trust
Provide continuity if you become unable to manage trust assets
Potentially keep properly titled trust assets outside probate
Create more detailed instructions for future distributions

MORE THAN A FINANCIAL DECISION
Turn What You Have Into Kingdom Impact.
