Getting Started

While it may seem a daunting task, creating estate planning documents, such as a will or revocable trust, can be surprisingly rewarding. The following steps can help you get started.

​

  • Document your assets and liabilities. This includes your home, investments, insurance, and savings as well as mortgages, loans, and credit card debt.

​​

  • Outline your wishes. Create your list of intended beneficiaries and what you would like each to receive.

​

  • Get assistance from professional advisors. An estate planning attorney, accountant, and financial planner can help create and implement an estate plan that has a positive effect on your family and on those causes which are important to you.

​

  • Let us know. If you decide to make Englishton Park a beneficiary, please let us know so we can acknowledge your gift and extend our gratitude for your generosity. We would also be happy to answer questions you may have.
