Ensure Your Values Live on During Make-A-Will Month

August is Make-A-Will Month and a great time to check off this important item on your to-do list. This month, The Foundation of the Greater Miami Jewish Federation reminds us of three important things: You don’t need to be wealthy to create a will; leaving a charitable gift in your will doesn’t mean your family will receive less; and your charitable gift doesn’t need to be large in order to matter. The truth is, a will is about doing something today to protect the people you love, express your values and ensure your wishes are known.
