Write-A-Will
Hosted by Charitable Gift Planners of Northeast Indiana
When: Thursday, October 24, 2024
Where: JA Headquarters
Junior Achievement of Northern IN is participating in the Write a Will Week (hosted by Charitable Gift Planners of NE IN), a community-wide initiative to promote the importance of having a will and encouraging charitable giving in the form of a bequest. During this week, local attorneys partner with non-profits to volunteer their time, preparing simple wills for participants at no charge when at least one gift is left to charity in the will.

What is a Simple Will?
A Simple Will is one that allows for the naming of a personal representative for the estate, allows for simple, direct distributions of assets to surviving spouse, charities, and/or other beneficiaries and follows all applicable state requirements for witnesses and signatures. It may contain guardian appointments if there are children under age 18.
Who needs a Will?
EVERY person of legal age and of sound mind who owns personal or real property should have a Will
Why should you have a Will?
• To ensure that your family and loved ones will be protected and taken care of when you die
• To minimize estate or inheritance taxes
• You can leave money to your family AND your favorite charitable organization
• It is the only way to ensure that your wishes will be carried out after you’re gone, instead of having the law determine who inherits your assets
• Without a Will, your estate administration may be chaotic and far more costly than if you die with a valid Will
• Allows you to include a personalized statement of your faith or values
• YOU can make a DIFFERENCE in the lives of others!
