Estate planning support: a gift from the Foundation

Planning for the future doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Thanks to our partnership with Johni Hays of Thompson & Associates, the Foundation offers free, confidential estate planning consultation sessions to individuals, couples, and families—no strings attached. Johni will meet with you for one hour per month to help create or update your estate plan. The process generally takes 5-6 sessions, but you can opt out at any time.

Appointments are available now, with several time slots newly opened. To schedule your initial session with Johni, email us at info@iumf.org. Learn more on our website.
