Please consider one of the greatest acts of stewardship an individual can make by establishing an estate plan. These gifts help us to build a solid foundation for the Catholic formation of future generations. A well coordinated estate plan typically includes:

1. financial power of attorney
2. the will
3. beneficiary designations
4. charitable beneficiary designations
5. healthcare documents such as a living will and a healthcare power of attorney

Create or update your estate plans today by contacting your estate attorney and financial advisor. For more information, please contact Mary Lederer, Director of Stewardship, at 312-573-4432 or by email mlederer@holynamecathedral.org. Or visit myimpact.archchicago.org/resources
