By senior estate planner and elder law attorney Rick L. Law of the Estate Planning Center at Law Elder Law, a multi-generational law firm serving seniors, boomers, and their families in West suburban Aurora, Illinois. When I was just a high school kid, I was visiting my favorite farm family cousin, when I learned one of the most loving lessons about giving. My cousin was teasing her dad and asked, “Dad, are you and Mom going to pay for my wedding?” We were just teenagers then, so there was no wedding planned at that time. None the less, her dad suddenly got very serious and told her to sit down with him. He looked deeply into her eyes and said, “Yes Honey! There are a lot of things that your Mom and I hope to be able to give to you with warm hands.” I was not a part of the conversation but I was stunned by the impact of his words. He understood full well that someday, his hands would be cold. Donating time and money to children and youth programs while you’re still alive is a great example of warm hands giving. How fulfilling it is to see your smile reflected back in the eyes of a hopeful child. As an estate planning attorney, many of my clients live and give generously with their time and their money. They unselfishly support both the people and the organizations that they love and cherish. Surprisingly when it comes time to do their estate plans, there seems to be a disconnect in that they often overlook allocating a percentage of their wealth to the organizations that they supported during their lifetime. Maybe it’s because it’s almost taboo to talk about estate planning. Most people don’t realize how satisfying and painless it is to generously bless the future work of their favorite not-for-profit organization. Plan ahead to pass your baton to future do-gooders and would-be philanthropists so that they can better serve future generations needs. This can be one of the most marvelous and loving ways to give with warm hands.
