Transfer the Blessings is a gift planning program that helps Christians include gifts for the church and other ministries and missions in their estate plan. Take a look at the videos to the right to see how the Transfer the Blessings works.
Transfer the Blessings helps Christians...
... Prepare a Christian preamble to their will as a witness to their descendants of their faith and their support for the mission of the church.
... Create financial instruments that enable you to give your entire estate to your descendents and a portion to the charity or charities of your choice.
... Avoid unnecessary taxes and other legal problems that sometimes arise.
