Historic Congressional Cemetery is a safe space to talk about death. And to plan for it.
Please join us on June 16th to discover what you can do today to effectively incorporate philanthropy into your end-of-life plans. With some basic preparation, you can honor your family and the nonprofit organizations closest to your heart by naming them as a beneficiary in your will, retirement plan, life insurance plan, and/or revocable trust.
To help demystify the estate planning process, local experts Maya Weil (Charitable Gift Planning Specialist) and David Jonathan Taylor (Estate Planning Attorney) will join the HCC community and break it all down into manageable tasks. In layperson’s terms, they’ll discuss how you can use legacy and gift planning to protect your family and what you value most.
Come prepared with your life and death questions.
