President Stenstrom said we seldom neglect the important things in life.  One of the important things is preparing a will or estate plan.  We have learned that more than half of all American adults do not have a will or any type of formal estate plan.  One of the best motivators for making a will is a desire to help your favorite charitable cause.

By including Assistance League of Sacramento in your will, you can have peace of mind knowing that you have not sacrificed your current standard of living while leaving a future charitable legacy.
