Estate Planning

Our United Methodist Foundation in the Western North Carolina Conference has some resources for you to consider in planning your legacy. A legacy is something you do now, that will live on.

It is extremely important for you to have a will in place before you die for a number of reasons. You want a will so you dictate what you want done with your assets rather than the state deciding for you. You also need a will if you have minor children so you designate who will become your children's guardian.
