A will can do more than outline where your assets go. It can also reflect the values you want to carry forward.

In recognition of Make-A-Will Month, MendenFreiman co-founding partner Larry Freiman shares why estate planning is an important opportunity to provide clarity for loved ones, support the causes that matter to you and create a meaningful legacy for future generations.

Thank you to the Atlanta Jewish Foundation for creating and producing this video and for helping encourage thoughtful conversations around charitable giving and legacy planning!
