Ministry Advance Foundation’s services are available at no cost or obligation to people affiliated with the CB family of ministries.

If you don’t complete an estate plan, the state in which you live has already made a “will” for you. Unfortunately, it does not take your desires into consideration and could prove costly.

Effective estate planning includes:
• Providing for loved ones through a will or trust.
• Making decisions about financial desires before an emergency prevents you from doing so.
• Designating a guardian and/or trustee for minor children.
• Reducing settlement costs and estate taxes.
• Creating a business-succession plan for family-owned businesses.
• Remembering the church and other favorite charities.
• Providing lifetime income for yourself and/or loved ones, especially those who are disabled.
• Leaving a Christian testimony in your will.
• Preparing health-care directives.

What Ministry Advance Foundation will do for you:
• Provide trustworthy Christian guidance by a representative who will walk you through the process of setting up and completing your estate plan.
• Help you make the most of the expensive, yet essential, time an attorney spends preparing your will or other estate-planning document.
• Answer your questions and provide useful data-organizing forms.
