What if we just give it to the kids and let them worry about it?
Finishing up a round of golf, Sam complained about being so busy that he can’t golf as much as he wanted to in retirement. “My game is still bad, and I can’t play enough to get better. Between doctor appointments, meeting with my financial advisor, attending the two boards I serve on at Church, and all the projects my wife gives me, I just can’t play.”
Frank replied, “I know what you mean. My wife wants us to redo our estate plan, but I keep telling her that I’m too busy already. I think we should just hand it over to the kids and let them worry about it.”
This sentiment is common, as the task of creating or updating a Christian estate plan seems daunting with the thought of hard work and expense. There is both work and expense involved, but that price has a value. In the gift plan you create, you are directing God’s gifts. He has entrusted them into your care. With that trust comes responsibility to put a plan together along with choosing responsible representatives to ensure accountability to make sure your wishes, God’s plan, is carried out.
With a friend, you can get started on this project and find it won’t really be that bad.
Your LWML Gift Planning Counselor can be that friend.
