Love Your Family- Write a Will

I am embarrased to admit that Chad and I don't have a will. We never got around to it, and then decided to move to SC (a will must be current in your state of residence), so we planned on doing it, but haven't gotten around to it. Blah, blah ,blah... Anyway. My sister and I were talking about it the other day, and I told her that I needed to post some of the resources that I have found. There are so many things available to help this process go smoothly, and to give you and your family the assurance that in a crisis everyone will be considered. The title above is a link to Crown's FREE Will Planning Kit.

In my work with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, in our will brochure, we provided a brochure that gives you a run down of what to provide to the executor of your estate so that he/she doesn't have to start at square one going through your personal documents. I think that we will probably buy Crown's Set Your House in Order Workbook to have a consise place for all our information.

Next, finding a lawyer- again, at BGEA we recommended the Christian Legal Society if you don't know where to start. I am thankful to have a wonderful aunt that is a lawyer and just happens to work within walking distance to the Walhalla Steakhouse, so I am going to get on the ball and give her a call. (You would think the food would be incentive enough.) I would be glad to pass her name along for any of you that need a lawyer in the SC Upstate.

There we go...a start. I am going to print the Crown Will Workbook out, so that Chad and I can work on it this weekend. I hope that this inspires many, many of you to do the same. For our peace of mind and those we love!

Thanks Reagan! It has been on our to-do list for years now. Now on the top of the list with the little one.
