Planned Giving

At Virginia Mason Franciscan Health, we believe that humankindness means advancing care for the whole person. That care extends far beyond the walls of the hospital, including helping our donors, employees, and communities plan for the future.

You may be surprised to learn that 71% of Americans don't have a will or trust, leaving many families unprotected in the event of the unexpected. Probate alone can take 9 to 18 months and cost up to 10% of an estate's value.

That's why we're proud to offer a new, free resource through our partnership with FreeWill. This secure online tool allows you to create or update your will at no cost–giving you peace of mind and confidence in your plans for tomorrow.

Having a will ensures that your priorities are honored, your loved ones are cared for, and your future is planned with confidence. Whether you're creating a will for the first time or updating an existing one, this tool makes the process easy and accessible.

If you have any questions about this new partnership or estate planning in general, please contact our offices at 253-680-3696 and we'd be happy to connect with you.
