Celebrate National Make a Will Month with Habitat for Humanity Monterey Bay

August is National Make a Will Month. This is a meaningful time to reflect on your legacy and the values you want to leave behind. At Habitat for Humanity Monterey Bay, we know that creating a will is more than just a legal step; it’s an opportunity to shape the future and build a world where every family has a safe and decent place to call home.

Planned giving is a powerful way to align your legacy with your values. By taking this important step, you not only bring peace of mind to your loved ones but also create lasting impact for generations to come.

We are proud to partner with the U.S. Will Registry to provide our community with the ability to create a will free of charge. This resource makes it simple to begin planning your legacy and ensuring your wishes are protected.

Already Have a Living Trust?

If you already have a living trust in place, you may still benefit from a Pour-Over Will—and we’re here to help with that too.

What is a Pour-Over Will?

A Pour-Over Will is designed to work alongside a living trust. It acts as a safety net, making sure that any assets not transferred into your trust during your lifetime will automatically “pour over” into the trust after your passing. This ensures your wishes are honored and prevents property from being distributed according to default state laws.

Leave a Legacy of Home and Hope

By taking advantage of these free tools, you can protect your loved ones, secure your assets, and create a legacy that reflects your deepest values. If in your planning you choose to include Habitat for Humanity Monterey Bay in your estate planning, you are helping to ensure that more families in our community have access to safe, affordable housing.

Join us in celebrating National Make a Will Month by taking the next step in your legacy planning. Together, we can build a stronger future.
