Have You Had This Crucial Conversation?

The ever-changing landscape of life—marriage, births, changes in debt and bank accounts—has undoubtedly impacted your family. But by teaming up with your spouse to clarify your goals, you can protect yourself, your children and your assets. Discuss the following questions with your spouse to make sure you're on the same page:

Key Conversation Points

Are the names on our bank accounts, property deeds or credit card accounts up-to-date?
Have we updated our wills and beneficiaries on all policies including life insurance, investment policies and retirement plans to reflect significant life changes?
When one or both of us dies, how will we distribute our assets to our children?
When will we review our estate plans with the help of an estate planning attorney?
Are we planning to make contributions to our favorite charities now or in our wills, or both?

When discussing charitable giving with your spouse, feel free to contact Jane McIntosh at 212-875-5447 or jmcintosh@lincolncenter.org to discuss ways that supporting Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts can fit your financial situation.
