Why Is Estate Planning Important?

Without an estate plan:

* State laws determine how your assets are distributed.
* Loved ones may face delays and additional costs.
* Family disagreements can arise.
* Medical decisions may be left to others who are unsure of your wishes.
* Minor children may not have a guardian of your choosing.
* Creating an estate plan allows you to make these decisions in advance rather than leaving them to the courts or family members during an already difficult time.

Find out how you can protect your family, and how to make a planned gift if you choose to support our community work.

Each October, National Estate Planning Awareness Week serves as an important reminder that planning for the future is one of the most meaningful gifts we can give our loved ones. This month reflects a growing awareness that estate planning is about more than money: It's about protecting family, reducing stress, and ensuring your wishes are respected.

If you've been putting off estate planning, consider making this October the month you finally check it off your list. Your future self and your loved ones will thank you.

Interested in learning how a planned gift can help strengthen families for generations to come? Contact Jennifer Pinske, Director of Community Engagement, at 507-361-0440.

Every October, Domestic Violence Awareness Month calls attention to something that happens too often behind closed doors and affects far more than the people directly involved.

The national theme for 2026 is “With Survivors, Always.” It is a reminder that awareness matters, but awareness alone is not enough.
