Dear TLC community,
Creating a will may not feel urgent, but it can be one of the most affirming and thoughtful things you do. For trans and nonbinary individuals, a will does more than outline wishes— it ensures that your identity, relationships, and values are legally protected and respected. This National Make-A-Will Month, we’re sharing a free resource to offer our TLC community a simple way to create a legal will in about 20 minutes. We know that lack of estate planning documentation is leveraged by institutions and individuals to further discriminate against queer and trans folks. In your will, you can: - Provide guidance for how you want to be remembered, affirming the use of your correct name and pronouns.
-
Assign beneficiaries for life insurance or retirement accounts
- Choose trusted individuals to make health and financial decisions
You can also choose to include Transgender Law Center in your plans, joining our circle of 200+ Legacy Donors.
Let’s continue to take care of each another—no matter your age, you can start here: |
