August is National Make-A-Will Month and the perfect time to plan for the future. Why create a will?

✅ Security: Creating your will communicates important financial and healthcare decisions.
✅ Peace of Mind: By planning ahead, you can rest easy knowing that the people and causes you care about will be supported, no matter what.
✅ Impact: Including a lasting gift in your will helps support the causes you love, like United Way, for generations to come.
