Thanks for visiting the Honorable Order's free estate planning explanation site!

We are told that 70% of Americans do not have a current will. Wow! The ramifications of this on children, surviving spouses, on taxes and fees are immeasurable.

As a result of questions and suggestions from Kentucky Colonels, we have added a member benefit to provide some “layman friendly” estate planning information that can enable you to protect your family and be a wise steward of the fruits of your life. The information was put together for us by PhilanthroCorp, a nationally recognized estate planning firm.

So, grab a cup of coffee or tea, kick off your shoes and browse around. Afterward, if you want to get down to business, you can click on the Estate Plan Organizer and walk yourself through a tutorial/data-gathering process.

At the end, you can print it or ask for help. All of the information you put in is confidential. The Organizer will not ask for social security numbers or bank account numbers. No one will see your entries unless you click submit at the end and ask for help. In that case, one of our friends at PhilanthroCorp will get in touch. If you decide to talk with PhilanthroCorp, there will be no charge to you. The service is being provided by the Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels.
