Bob Freelove
Director of Gift Planning

It's vacation time, so now what? It has been said that people spend more time planning their vacation than they do planning their estate. Summer is the ideal time to make sure that your will and estate plans are in order.

A great time to sign a new or updated will is before that vacation.  We can provide you with a Will and Trust Planning Guide to help you protect your estate and family.  Please call 805-565-6058  or e-mail us with "Wills Kit" as your subject.  We will promptly send you a helpful Wills Kit. 

For a overview of wills and estate planning, you may also view the "Wills Guide" video on www.westmontlegacy.org.


Thank you for your interest in Westmont College. Our hope is to serve you and your family with helpful information. We have over 700 alumni, friends and family of Westmont who are a part of our legacy society.

The Wallace Emerson Society recognizes people of vision who contribute to Westmont's future through planned gifts or provisions in their estates.
