This is an opportunity for you to create stronger healthcare for tomorrow, with a larger gift than perhaps you thought possible – larger than those made during your lifetime. Just imagine the legacy you will leave.
Here are some easy steps to write your will:
- Decide if you want to do-it-yourself or seek a lawyer’s guidance
- Select your beneficiaries
- Choose the executor for your will

- Sign your will and have a witness
- Store your will for safe keeping, such as at a financial institution, with your lawyer or in a fire-proof safe
- Update and review your will after any major life changes
Benefits to planning your will:
- Peace of mind after providing for the financial needs of your family and heirs, you also leave a legacy by helping others.
- You can make a significant gift, larger than you thought possible, which will positively impact the future of healthcare for the next generation – your legacy.
