STEWARDSHIP
If you have a bank account, IRA, 401k, cat, dog, life insurance, or car, you have an estate. If you think that estate planning is for the super rich, please reconsider that idea. Whatever you own has to be dealt with and distributed when you are no longer here. Someone will be the beneficiary. If you do not list beneficiaries, then the state you live in will distribute your assets. So, leave a message, not a mess. Consider who you want as beneficiaries. If you are part of the St Nicholas family, then include it as a beneficiary. Name St Nicholas as a beneficiary on your 401k, IRA, bank account, or life insurance. The percentage might be one percent or ten percent or larger. Of course, you will take care of the other members of your family as well. Estate planning and gifting to the church are possible no matter the size of your assets. We will explain more about estate planning, but your listing St Nicholas as a beneficiary is in your control and does not even need an attorney for this simple step.
We wish you a long and healthy life.
