Sound Stewardship Never Retires.

Sharing the Rewards of Life.

You’ve lived a meaningful life and now you are enjoying the benefits of your years of thoughtful planning. Good management of your resources has provided the retirement you dreamed of, but it is also a time when sound financial management is more important than ever.

You’ve spent a lifetime working toward important goals, touching the lives of those around you. Your ability to influence others into the future can be achieved through legacy planning.

Introducing the Legacy Planner.

Part of the joy of a long and successful life is reaping the material benefits of your hard work and careful money management . . . but then what? Have you prepared for a day when illness or incapacity might require someone to help you manage the affairs of your life? If you needed to locate your important financial records and hand them off to someone today, could you do it?

The truth is that it is often quite difficult to keep track of everything you own, especially if you’ve dealt with various advisors and professionals over the years. But someday your loved ones and trusted advisors may need access to your accounts, plans, and documents. Would that information be easy to find? Where would they start?

It’s because of critical questions like these that we created this organizer for you and your loved ones. By jotting down a list of your assets, liabilities, family and professional contacts, and other vital facts and preferences, you’ll have a neat, all-in-one place record that can be accessed easily. The Legacy Planner will tremendously help those who serve you today and in the future.

Williams, was inspired by a vision for a retirement community along the shores of the Caloosahatchee in an area long known as “Shell Point.” This vision took root in a significant charitable gift of 75 acres of prime waterfront property by Mr. Williams to The Christian and Missionary Alliance for the development of Shell Point Retirement Community.

Since its founding, this spirit of philanthropy and giving has been at the core of the mission and ministry of Shell Point. And today, the importance of philanthropic support to our vision for the future is just as vital. Your gifts today and in the future will allow Shell Point to not only remain a leader in the industry, but will allow us to expand and improve the care we give to all residents and their loved ones.

addition, some forms of legacy giving may offer you significant tax savings, allowing you to maximize gifts to family members and loved ones while achieving your charitable objectives.

Finally, as a member of Shell Point’s Legacy Society, your gift will help inspire others to give meaningfully to their community…to leave a lasting legacy for future generations.
