Gifts Through Wills
Giving to Spring Branch through your will is the easiest way to continue reaching individuals for Christ after your passing, and to remove highly taxable assets from your estate.

Example
John and Mary Smith have been involved with Spring Branch for years. While they have regularly supported SBCC monthly, they have always desired to give larger gifts. After reviewing their financial situation, the Smiths decided the best way to give a larger gift was through their will. As they talked with the campaign director about this, they posed several questions:

Can we specify how and where our gift is to be used?
Yes. Contact our Campaign Director at giftplan@springbranch.org with your questions.

Can we make a gift that will support the long-term needs of the Church?
Yes. Contact our Campaign Director at giftplan@springbranch.org with your questions.

Do I have to share with Spring Branch the value of the assets I am giving?
No. As always, we respect the privacy of our donors.

Facts about Wills
Without a will, the State will determine how your assets should be distributed. Many times this distribution will not be what you would have desired.

Because laws are always changing, wills should be reviewed by an attorney every few years to ensure they remain in compliance with the laws of that state. Wills that are outdated may be completely overturned at the time of death and all assets may be distributed by the State.

Adding Spring Branch to your existing will can usually be done through a "codicil." This legal instrument generally allows for changes to a will without the cost or time of redrafting the entire document.
