We are Stewards

It is true wisdom to set your house in order while you are able. God expects our faithfulness in providing a plan for our children in the event of the death of both parents. He also expects that we are good stewards of what He placed in our care at our death, just as we were good stewards of what He placed in our care during our lifetime. A Will ensures that we accomplish that.

Traditionally, people divided their estate among their children. You may want to consider your children’s financial state before doing so. If you are older, your children probably already have more than they need. You may want to consider leaving part of your estate to support your church or other needs around the world. Stewardship is using your assets where they make the most impact for good.

If you have minor children or a special needs child, it is important to make sure they are taken care of. A Will can designate who will care for them and set aside funding to support them. The people you are responsible for are your most important asset, and you don’t want to be found unfaithful in providing for them.

Your Letter of Instructions within the Will gives direction to how your household goods and personnel effects should be distributed. This can avoid family disputes of who gets the family keepsakes.
