How to Designate Love World Missions in Your Estate Plan:​

​

1. Consult an Estate Planning Attorney: It’s essential to work with a qualified estate planning attorney to ensure your wishes are documented correctly and comply with state laws. They can help you draft or update your will or trust.

2. Specify Your Gift: Clearly indicate in your will or trust the specific amount or percentage of your estate you wish to donate to Love World Missions. Be sure to include our legal name and tax identification number to avoid any confusion.

3. Consider a Beneficiary Designation: In addition to your will, you can also designate Love World Missions as a beneficiary of certain accounts, such as retirement accounts or life insurance policies. This allows your gift to pass directly to us outside of probate.

4. Communicate Your Wishes: It’s helpful to inform your family and loved ones of your intentions regarding your estate plan. This can help prevent any misunderstandings and ensure your wishes are respected.
