THOUGHTS FROM OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Dear Friend,
One of the most important steps you can take for your family and future is to get your estate plan in order. Studies show that more than $1 billion of wealth transfers are expected to occur right here in Scott County—and without proper planning, much of it could be left unprotected.
That’s why I encourage you to schedule a free estate planning session sponsored by Scott Community Foundation with Clarissa Roenne. Clarissa has the knowledge and experience to guide you through the process, ensuring your wishes are honored and your loved ones are provided for.
Don’t wait until it’s too late. Take the time now to put your estate in line. Protect what you’ve worked hard to build and give your family the peace of mind they deserve.
Contact Clarissa or Scott Community Foundation today to schedule your free session in Scott City and take the first step toward securing your legacy.
Sincerely,
Ryan Roberts
