Best Divorce Lawyers in Burnsville, MN

Can my Church be my Beneficiary? Have you ever wondered if you could leave a legacy at a place that's close to your heart? At consultations, clients often ask me if they can include their church or synagogue in their estate planning. And the answer is a resounding YES. In Minnesota and indeed most parts of the country, it's not just permitted, it's celebrated. It's a timeless way of expressing gratitude to your faith community, rewarding them for the moral guidance they've provided. In the legal world, we call this a 'bequest' – the act of gifting, through your will, assets or property to the individuals or organizations that matter to you. The beauty of a will is in its specificity; you control who benefits from your legacy. So next time you're revising your will, remember - you can give a little back. It's a small step that can make a big impact on the community that's shaped you. So let's take a look and how you can make it happen to add your church to your estate plan.
