We’re honored to share a meaningful example of how thoughtful planning can leave a lasting impact on our community.
The Harper family recently took an important step to support future generations through a planned gift to Bowling Green State University. Their gift will honor the career and achievements of Mary Ellen Mazey, BGSU’s 11th president. In addition to funding a new lab on campus, their donation will support students studying biology, math, music, art and nursing!
What makes this especially powerful is that this gift was made possible through careful estate planning, ensuring their values and priorities will continue to make a difference for years to come.

Estate planning isn’t just about documents:
It’s about deciding what impact you want to leave on the world
It’s about choosing how you want to be remembered.
It’s about creating a legacy.
We’re grateful to have worked alongside the Harper family in helping bring their vision to life, and we look forward to seeing the impact of their generosity.

Have you ever thought about the kind of legacy you’d like to leave?

Estate planning for children with special needs requires careful consideration. If you’re a parent of a child with a disability, there are a number of tools you can use to provide for them in accordance with your wishes. While the unexpected can happen at any time, it’s important not to delay having a plan in place as soon as possible. Planning ahead can allow you to protect your child’s eligibility for government benefits, appoint a trusted person as guardian, and ensure they have the long-term care they need.

Once you have drafted your estate plan, it should not be put in a drawer and forgotten. It’s essential to revisit it from time to time to ensure it still reflects your wishes. By conducting a review on a regular basis, you can ensure that your estate plan aligns with your goals and allows you to provide for your loved ones in the way you intend. Updating your estate plan should be a priority when significant life events occur, or there is any change in your family, health, or financial situation.

While many people think of distributing assets such as real estate, bank accounts, and vehicles when planning their estates, it’s important not to overlook assets in digital form. In today’s technology-driven society, most people possess several types of digital assets or have property stored in online accounts that are part of their legacy. It’s vital to take the necessary steps to incorporate the digital assets you own into your estate plan to ensure your loved ones have access to them when you pass away — and they are distributed or managed in accordance with your wishes.
