Will the property he has at the time of his death. What your gift to The Franciscan Friars of California can do As Franciscans we are challenged to adapt ourselves to a rapidly changing Church and world while remaining true to the spirit of our founder, St. Francis of Assisi. Like the first Franciscans we are called to be people of prayer, work and study. Your gracious bequest will support the hundreds of ministries and projects that we are presently engaged in and new programs and ministries that will be part of your own living legacy. As you prepare your Will you may wish to make your bequest particular.
Many persons choose to make a gift to program and ministry with that with ongoing needs.
Our missionary efforts span the entire world and extend as far away as Thailand to the Native American nations of the Southwestern United States. Your last Will and testament is an important matter. It should be planned and prepared, with the advice and assistance of your attorney, long before there is a thought of death or disability, while physical and mental health are unimpaired. In the United States a Will tends to be lengthy and complicated, and it is often unwise even to draft one without expert legal advice. Competent sources also admonish that in order to keep up not only with the changing circumstances of a person's family circle and his property but also to keep abreast of the frequent changes in the tax laws and thus to avoid unnecessary taxes, it is advisable to have a Will regularly checked.
