estate and gift planning

Estate planning is an essential part of both financial and retirement planning. Planned Giving and Trust Services is a unique mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. We provide useful estate, and gift planning information. For example: everyone should have an Advance Directive; most people should have a will; and some would do well to consider having a trust.

Our planned giving consultants are happy to provide information, discuss options and answer questions regarding your specific situation. And we can often see that appropriate documents—wills, trusts, advance directives, etc.—are prepared for you by a qualified attorney. Our services generally are free to those who desire to include the church in their planning.
