Estate Planning Made Simple with Law Assure

June 30, 2025

When it comes to planning for the future, there are few things more meaningful than knowing your legacy will make a lasting impact. At GBU, we’re proud to offer members the tools and resources needed to protect what matters most while also providing meaningful ways to give back. Two key ways to do just that? Estate planning with LawAssure and charitable giving through the GBU Foundation.

LawAssure and Estate Planning
Estate planning may sound overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. As a GBU member, you have complimentary access to LawAssure, a secure, online platform that helps you create personalized legal documents such as wills, powers of attorney and healthcare directives. These documents are essential in protecting your wishes and your loved ones, ensuring your affairs are handled the way you want them to be.


Whether you're just getting started or updating your existing plans, LawAssure offers easy-to-use templates and guidance tailored to your state’s legal requirements. It’s peace of mind without the price tag or complexity of traditional legal services.


Extend Your Impact Through the GBU Foundation

Once your estate plans are in place, it’s also worth considering how you might make a difference for generations to come. The GBU Foundation offers a powerful way to support causes that align with your values, including scholarships and community initiatives. A particularly meaningful option is to include a charitable gift to the Foundation in your estate plans through life insurance or annuities. This thoughtful approach allows you to support the people and causes you care about most.


Start Building Your Legacy Today

Combining Law Assure with charitable giving is a smart and heartfelt way to plan for the future. Whether you’re focused on protecting your family or giving back to your community (or both), GBU is here to support you every step of the way.

Legacy giving, also known as planned giving, is a meaningful way to leave behind an impact on the causes and organizations you care about. By incorporating life insurance and annuities into your estate planning, you can maximize the benefits of your legacy gifts, ensuring they are both impactful and tax efficient.

As we move into the second quarter of another exciting year, I want to take a moment to reflect on our accomplishments and share some of the new initiatives we are implementing in the realms of sales, marketing and community engagement. Over the past year, GBU Life has reached significant milestones thanks to the dedication and hard work of our team and the trust and support of our members. Our sales department has exceeded targets, and we have expanded our reach to more communities than ever before. We have launched several successful marketing campaigns that have not only increased our visibility but have also strengthened our brand's presence in the industry. For this year, our focus will be educating potential new members on the importance of securing their financial futures through life insurance and annuity products while serving their communities as part of our great Society. Looking ahead, we are committed to enhancing our sales strategies to better serve you. We are introducing some tools for our agents to enhance our products. One new tool is our Defined Benefit Annuity program which combines the Future Flex Fixed Index Annuity (FIA) with a software tool that can help determine retirement savings needs and break them down into contributions over time to help you meet your retirement goals. Be sure to keep in touch with your GBU agent to review your plans and products to see how adding an FIA to your retirement planning can help boost your savings efforts
