What Is Estate Planning?

“The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.”
– Psalm 24:1

Put simply, estate planning is figuring out what you’re going to do with what you’ve got.

During your lifetime, estate planning concerns the creation, conservation, and use of resources in order to secure the maximum benefit for you and your family now, during disability, and at retirement. Then, at death, this careful planning will also ensure that those resources are transferred to your loved ones with minimum depletion and delay due to taxes and probate.

A Christian might define estate planning another way: asking God what He wants you to do with what He’s given you, both now and after death. It’s recognizing that God is the owner of all and that each of us is also called by God to play a part in the advancement of His kingdom. Some of us will be called to go to the field; all of us are called to give to support the work of ministry. By giving to gospel-centered charities and ministries, we are being faithful to God’s call and serve as powerful testimonies to our children, our churches, and those around us.

This faithful stewardship of resources doesn’t stop when life ends. In fact, the single largest act of financial stewardship most believers will make is deciding what we will do with our assets upon our death, and arranging for the transfer of those assets in a manner that continues to reflect our Christian commitments.

We can assist in developing a plan that will help you use your assets wisely, whether for personal, family, business, or charitable interests.
