Did you
know? It's National Estate Planning Awareness Week.
Every year, during the third week of October,
National Estate Planning Awareness Week (NEPAW) takes
center stage in the United States. It's a week dedicated to
raising awareness about the importance of estate planning,
a topic that often gets pushed to the back burner in our
busy lives. There’s no better time than now to begin
writing your will or review and revise an already-created
estate plan!
Besides offering exciting events, engaging
exhibitions, and impactful arts programming, MAM also
partners with FreeWill to offer a free online resource that
guides you through creating a lawyer-approved will in as
little as 20 minutes. Whether you’re 18 or 80, an
estate plan provides peace of mind for you and your loved
ones.
