On October 15, the Women’s Alliance explored legacy planning with Beth Behrend, who introduced UU Princeton’s new Legacy Planning Ministry, and Carol Haag, who led small group reflections on what we hope to leave behind. Beth covered practical essentials—wills, powers of attorney, beneficiaries, and records of important information —as well as the deeper questions of love, pride, and what we hope will live on. She reminded us that planning can spare loved ones confusion and that parents need a medical power of attorney to have a say in their children’s care after age 18. We also reflected on the legacy we’ve inherited: gifts from Edward Rey and Annemarie Knopf, nearly $200,000 in 2000, helped establish UU Princeton’s endowment. As Beth said, this ministry is not about money. It is about love. On October 18, volunteer attorney Rubeena Segal led a workshop on wills, powers of attorney, and guardianship.

Join us Sunday, November 8, for a worship service on legacy. All are welcome. UUA legacy planning booklets and a simple record book are available under Giving on the UU Princeton website.
