Faith-Based Estate Planning
Faith-Based Estate Planning
At Angela R. Reid-Brown, Attorney at Law, we believe estate planning is more than just preparing documents—it’s about stewarding the resources God has entrusted to you. Faith-based estate planning ensures that your will, trust, and other planning tools reflect your spiritual values as well as your financial goals.
What the Bible Says About Stewardship and Legacy
Scripture consistently reminds us of the importance of planning wisely and caring for our families:
- “But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.” – 1 Timothy 5:8
- “Be sure you know the condition of your flocks, give careful attention to your herds; for riches do not endure forever.” – Proverbs 27:23–24
- “A good person leaves an inheritance for their children’s children.” – Proverbs 13:22
These verses highlight God’s call to provide, protect, and plan for those we love. Estate planning done in faith is one way to live out that responsibility.
How Faith-Based Estate Planning Works
With a biblical perspective, your estate plan can include:
- Faith-Aligned Wills & Trusts – Ensuring your resources are distributed in ways consistent with your values.
- Charitable Giving – Supporting your church, ministries, or other faith-based organizations as part of your legacy.
- Guardianship Provisions – Naming guardians who will raise your children with your faith as a foundation.
- Healthcare Directives – Reflecting your spiritual convictions in medical decisions.
- Legacy Letters – Sharing words of blessing, encouragement, and faith for future generations.
