Writing CFLS into Your Will

What Your Will Reveals About You

A carefully written will can help you care for loved ones long after you are gone. Wills help with legal matters relating to the transfer of your estate. A will allows your affairs to be handled smoothly and without undue inconvenience to grieving loved ones.

A will can also help you now by helping you plan for the future.  You can reduce taxes and costs by pre-designating your assets and determining who will handle the details. With a carefully designed estate plan, more of your estate may be available to family members or charities, like Community Family Life Services.

Your will provides insight into what was important to you during your lifetime. And bequests to a charity, like Community Family Life Services, speaks volumes about your values.  When you include Community Family Life Services in your will you tell people that you value helping women, children and families leave poverty and homelessness behind. Your faith and trust in our vision is revealed, and you encourage CFLS to be good stewards of the resources you place in our hands.

Having a will says many good things about you. At Community Family Life Services we want you to experience the good feeling of having selected excellent stewards of your resources and the joy of leaving a legacy to help those  in need.
