Make 2021 your year to update or create your estate plan, allowing you to plan for the future. You can create the legacy you want to leave, ensuring your family is protected well into the future. Without these documents, the laws of your state will determine how your assets are divided after your lifetime. This may leave out people and organizations that are important to you.

Time for an Update?
If you have already created your estate plan, take time this year to make sure it is current, especially if you have experienced life events such as:
• A change in marital status for you or someone in your family
• A new child
• The loss of a loved one
• A move to a new state
• The desire to make an impact at organizations like Rose Brooks Center in the future

Make Rose Brooks Center Part of Your Legacy.
When you include a gift to Rose Brooks Center in your estate plan, you ensure your support for our work continues into the future. Contact Marla Svoboda, Rose Brooks Center Chief Development Officer at marla@rosebrooks.org or 816-605-7110 to learn more.

P.S. We have a new resource we would like to offer our readers. Get peace of mind by updating or creating your legal will, all for FREE. You never have to pay for a document you create on FreeWill. Just go to freewill.com/rosebrooks today and check it out!
