Non-probate assets

Leave a Legacy of Compassion

In 1967, locals Gwyneth and Bruce Mitchell founded the Wenatchee Valley Humane Society with a simple dream — to build a safer, more supportive community for pets and people. Their compassion continues to save lives every day through the programs, adoptions, and outreach made possible by our supporters.

You can carry that legacy forward by including Wenatchee Valley Humane Society in your will, trust, or retirement plan.
A gift in your estate plan costs nothing today, yet ensures that future generations of animals will always have care, shelter, and hope when they need it most.

Do you have an IRA, 401(k), life-insurance policy, or any other assets not included in your will? If so, these are called non-probate assets and you must plan your beneficiaries for them separately. Use this free online tool to make your plans and designate us as a beneficiary of one or more of these assets.

Estate planning can be overwhelming and many of us either put it off or don’t think it applies to us. If you have a loved one worried about taking care of those they love after they are gone, help walk them through the process with these tips.
