How Will You Be Remembered?

Creating a will is often associated with older people or the wealthy, but the truth is that everyone, regardless of age or financial status, should consider making a will. At Martha’s Table, we believe in supporting our neighbors in making informed decisions that safeguard their future and legacy. That’s why we’re proud to partner with FreeWill, a free and accessible will-writing service designed to help everyone take this crucial step.

Why Make a Will?

Peace of Mind

A will provides peace of mind for you and your loved ones. It ensures that your wishes are clearly articulated and legally binding, reducing the potential for disputes and confusion during what is already a challenging time. Knowing that your assets will be distributed according to your preferences can bring a sense of security.

Protecting Loved Ones

A will allows you to designate guardians for your children, ensuring they are cared for by individuals you trust. It also helps provide financial stability for your dependents by specifying how your assets should be managed and allocated. This level of planning can alleviate potential hardship and ensure your loved ones are supported.

Simplifying the Legal Process

Without a will, the distribution of your estate is left to state laws, which may not put your loved ones at the forefront. This process, known as intestate succession, can be lengthy, complex, and costly to those you leave behind. By having a will, you streamline the legal process, making it easier for your executor to manage your estate and ensuring that your assets are distributed efficiently.

Supporting Causes You Care About

A will allows you to leave a lasting legacy by supporting the causes and organizations that matter most to you. Through our partnership with FreeWill, you can easily include a request to Martha’s Table, ensuring that your generosity continues to make a difference in the community. This act of giving can have a profound impact, helping us to continue our mission of strengthening children, families, and communities.

Flexibility and Control

Life is unpredictable, and circumstances change. A will offers flexibility, allowing you to update it as needed to reflect changes in your life, such as marriage, the birth of a child, or changes in your financial situation. This control over your legacy ensures that your current wishes are always honored.
