Aug.17, 2023

(August 1, 2023) – August is National Make-A-Will Month, and United Way provides a free resource that thousands have already used to take care of their families: FreeWill, a no-cost online will writing tool.

This is a free and easy way to protect the people and communities you love. We know that writing a will is one of those tasks that can fall by the wayside – and luckily, you can use this tool to create yours in under 20 minutes.

No matter what your “estate” includes, everyone needs a plan. No matter the value or nature of your assets, creating a plan:

  • Helps you care for and protect your loved ones;
  • Empowers you to make important decisions, on your own terms; and,
  • Gives you an easy way to support the causes you care about.

FreeWill is a secure platform that provides an easy way to protect the people and communities you love.

As a loyal supporter of United Way of Central and Northeastern Connecticut, you can continue to positively impact our community for generations to come by naming United Way as a recipient of a gift when writing your will. Leaving a gift to United Way of Central and Northeastern Connecticut is a powerful way to create a legacy and help sustain United Way’s impact in the community in the future.

This National Make-A-Will Month, protect your assets, loved ones, and the causes you care about by taking advantage of FreeWill’s free will writing tool. It is in your power today to create a legacy for tomorrow.

Those who leave a bequest to United Way of Central and Northeastern Connecticut will automatically be recognized in United Way’s 1924 Legacy Society.
