Your will is one of the most important documents you will ever prepare. A will gives you the opportunity to decide where your assets go. If you exercise your right to prepare a will according to the law, your rights will be respected.
Take a moment to read “
The four reasons why everyone should have a will.”
Greenpeace has two practical publications to help you prepare your will:
- Questions and Answers About Wills
- A Gift to Future Generations: Leaving a Bequest to Greenpeace
To order either of these publications, contact
