The year 2020 has shown us once again that the future is unpredictable. It’s good to have faith that everything will work out, but it’s also important to plan for the future, even the worst-case scenarios. That’s why it’s important for you to create a will — not just for you, but as a way to extend love and care to family and friends.<\/p>\n

Creating a will is more than a legal process. It’s a way to help others and leave a legacy. Now is the time to stop postponing and either write a will for the first time or update an older one. If the worst-case scenario happens and you die without a will, as Dave Ramsey says, “the government steps in to settle things for you<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Take charge for yourself and your loved ones. You can access an online tool to create or update your will for free, thanks to World Vision’s paid partnership with FreeWill. And it should take you less than 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

A good person leaves an inheritance for their children’s children …—Proverbs 13:22 (NIV)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n

Create a will in a few simple steps<\/h2>\n

Before you begin writing your will, think about the people and causes you care about the most. Who do you want to protect and care for even after you’re gone? Your legacy can also make a difference in the lives of children and families around the world when you select World Vision as a charity.<\/p>\n
