THE LEGACY SOCIETY

The Cleveland Lutheran High School Association is fortunate to have dedicated benefactors supporting its mission, including many who have chosen to secure its future through legacy gifts.

To express our appreciation for this committed group of donors who have remembered the CLHSA, Lutheran East, or Lutheran West in their estate plans, we established The Legacy Society. Members of The Legacy Society are part of a community of supporters who have declared that the mission of the CLHSA is one they wish to support into perpetuity.

In the future, their legacy gifts will play a critical role in the growth of our two Lutheran high schools, serving the needs of the hundreds of students. We invite you to join them by remembering us in your will or trust.

Estate Planning:

Peace of Mind in an Uncertain World

2020 is a year that many will never forget. The year taught us lessons, some welcome and some unanticipated. Most of all, though, we learned that the unexpected can happen to anyone. Being prepared for the things we can control is extremely important, especially during times when we do not know what the future may hold. One thing each of us can control is our estate plan. An estate plan, also known as a will or trust, is a collection of legal documents that set forth how you want your assets to be distributed when the Lord calls you home. These crucial documents will also map out how you want people you have appointed to handle health and financial decisions if you become unable to do so during your lifetime.

If you are like most, you have been dreading this task and putting it off until later in life. The majority of us have strong feelings about who should inherit our money, real estate, personal possessions, and other assets—and who shouldn’t? But sadly, many people pass on without ever putting their wishes in writing.

It is never too early to start planning or creating an estate plan. Putting an estate plan in place is among the most important things you can do for your loved ones, leaving them with clear instructions as to your final wishes.

It is also crucial to keep your estate plan up to date. The estate plan that was appropriate for your family and financial situation 10 or even 5 years ago may no longer fit your current circumstances. A well-organized estate plan can significantly ease the burden on those left behind, while poorly executed documents or lack of planning can exacerbate loved ones’ grief and trauma and add unnecessary expense.

It is easy to get overwhelmed during this process-which is likely why 65% of families do not have an estate plan in place.

These are some of the critical components you should consider for your estate plan:

Will and/or Trust

Financial Durable Power of Attorney Healthcare Directives

Guardians for Minor Children

A comprehensive estate plan can help you feel more confident about the future, knowing that your loved ones will be taken care of and that the legacy you leave behind is the one you want.

To make this process easier for you, the CLHSA has contracted with SFC Estate Coaching to help those in our community prepare for their futures. The system is in place to help you complete your estate plan in 60-90 days. We have found the coaches from SFC Estate Coaching to be exceedingly professional, willing to answer all your questions, and eager to help you feel comfortable while navigating through this planning process.
