National Make-a-Will Month awareness

Overview

National Make-a-Will Month serves as a campaign for individuals to create or update wills and focus on estate planning.

Conservation organizations, including the Amazon Conservation Association and Fossil Rim Wildlife Center, utilize the month to encourage legacy gifts that fund wildlife protection and habitat preservation. These organizations highlight that planned gifts can provide lasting support without requiring immediate financial outlay.

Beyond charitable giving, the month is used by financial professionals to emphasize comprehensive estate coordination. This includes ensuring that retirement accounts, life insurance, and beneficiary designations align with legal documents to prevent gaps during incapacity or death. Additionally, community-focused organizations like Catholic Charities of New York promote the use of digital tools to protect loved ones and uphold family values through estate planning.
