Did you know there are ways to support Mount St. Mary's University that don't affect your current lifestyle or your family's security? You can support Mount St. Mary's with gifts that don't impact the way you live. You can designate Mount St. Mary's University to receive estate assets in the future, or you can make immediate gifts to us of assets that are "out of sight and out of mind." We call these "Gifts Anyone Can Make" because anyone can make them now without impacting cash flow, lifestyle, or family security.
A will is one of the most important documents you will ever sign. Executing a will is neither difficult nor expensive, and the rewards are great indeed, both in peace of mind and in personal satisfaction. To find out what a will enables you to do and how you can get a will download the brochure Your Will To Help. Is your will up-to-date and ready for duty when the time comes?

Estate planning has a lasting effect on you and your family. However, many people do not have a current plan and it can be hard to find the time to take care of this important piece of business. We hope this estate planning kit will help you and your family handle this task as simply as possible. Of course we would like you to remember the Mount in your estate plans. However, it is more important that you take the time for your family and make an estate plan. Please consider this kit our gift to your family.
