Be a part in the preparation for our future by planning for yours.  The most common way to contribute a planned gift is by including the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Northtowns in your will.  It is easier than you may think.  Here how:

1. Prepare a List of Assests and Liabilities - Include the approximate value and account number for each.  Besides the obvious (savings accounts, house, car, etc.), don't forget about your personal items such as jewelry, antiques and other items of significant worth.  Also, provide the face value for life insurance policies, and amounts in retirement plans, along with corresponding designated beneficiaries.  
2. See a Lawyer - An attorney is not required by law to create your will, however, it is to your benefit to see one who specializes in estate planning.  Click here to get connected to a specialists.
