Wills & Estates

Should You Have a Will?

The answer is YES!

Whether you are single, have a young growing family or are retirement age, your Will lets the people you love know your wishes for them. It is an investment worth safeguarding, nurturing and building into a family legacy.

Even more, it will save your heirs considerable expenses and heartache. Without a Will, all your worldly possessions will be distributed according to a predetermined formula devised by the State of Indiana. Additionally, without proper planning of your estate, your loved ones may face significant federal estate or Indiana Inheritance taxes.

Tragically, nearly 70 percent of all Americans die without a Will. Their families are left to deal with needless costs and paperwork. Far too often, estates are tied up in the courts or families must contend with legal and financial difficulties or heavy tax consequences - simply because there was no Will to clearly state the wishes of the deceased.

If you are interested in naming Muncie Mission Ministries as a beneficiary in your will, or an estate-planning instrument, your attorney will find the following information valuable:

520 S. High St, Muncie, IN 47305

We are a 501(c)(3) organization incorporated in the state of Indiana. Our tax identification number is 35-0869061.

Sample bequest language example:

I bequeath the sum of $____________ or ____________% of my estate to Muncie Mission Ministries, Attn: Director of Development, 520 S. High St., Muncie, IN 47305, to be used for its work in support of the homeless.
