With a Will, There's a Way
Create Your Vision for the Future With This Important Document
The beginning of a new year is the perfect time to consider what you can do to shape the future for your family as well as others in the community and the world. If momentous events like a milestone birthday, the arrival of a grandchild, or retirement arise in the coming months, use those opportunities to celebrate and reflect on where your family has been and what the future might hold. Take the time to think about the values you hope to pass on to future generations.
One way you can ensure that your values endure is through will planning. Will planning is the highly personal process of deciding how your assets will be distributed after your lifetime.
Start at the Beginning
Create a will. Through this important document, you can direct the division of your property the way you choose. If Memorial Sloan Kettering has been important in your life, you can also include a gift to support our research and care.
Already have a will? Don't set it and forget it! Review it every couple of years to ensure that it has kept pace with your life. A new marriage, divorce, birth, or death of a family member are events that should trigger a review to make sure that your will still protects the people you love.
Go a Step Further
If supporting MSK is a part of your future plans, share your intentions with loved ones. Does your family know why our work is important to you? Tell them! These conversations help ensure that your family understands your intentions. You could also inspire them to make a connection with MSK and make an impact on future generations.
