Planned gifts (most commonly a donation made in your will or trust) cost nothing today and allow you to make an incredible impact, which is why so many people choose to make them.
A revocable living trust (RLT) provide California supporters a new, advantageous way to make a free online plan for the people they love. In states like California, the probate process can take months — even years — at a huge cost. Assets in RLTs bypass the probate process, and an RLT-based plan can be a huge time and money saver for California residents and their loved ones.
Don’t have a will or trust?
