Leaving a Legacy to the Glory of God

Most Christians today start to think about their estate as they plan for retirement. Many have good intentions. Yet few actually act on these intentions.

Most people assume that once they are gone, everything will ‘magically’ work out so their entire estate will go to their family and maybe even their church. Unfortunately without proper planning, up to 50% can go to pay off taxes etc. This leaves even less for loved ones.

We can plan on leaving a legacy to the Lord’s Work. What would be better than leaving something that has eternal significance? Maybe this could include you!

Sadly however, few follow through and actually take steps to see it happen. Being a good steward involves maximizing an estate value to assist family, friends and importantly, the Lord’s Work.

1. What does it mean to “Leave a Legacy”?

2. Won’t it work out on its own?

3. Pitfalls of estate planning.

4. How to deal with the area of inheritance.

5. How to maximize our estate.

6. How to give to the Lord’s work and still leave more to your family. Is it possible?

7. How to leave Revenue Canada out of your will?
