- Financial assets: cash, stocks, and bonds
- Real estate
- Personal property: your vehicle, jewelry, or artwork
- Non-probate assets: life insurance policy, retirement account, or IRA
We know family comes first. You can choose to allocate all or just a portion/percentage of these assets to Wordcrafters.
