Welcome to the National Association of Watch & Clock Collectors
Planned Giving

What footprints will you leave behind? Everyone leaves footprints. They are made by the positive impressions our lives leave on others. Thoughtful estate planning and making a will are means that we have to make a print in the sand, to help others recall our values. Have you made your will? Do not risk having the courts decide how your estate will be distributed.

One way to leave a thoughtful footprint is to sign a new or updated will. We can provide you with a Will and Trust Planning Guide to help you protect your estate and family. Please call me, Steve Humphrey at 717.684.8261 ext. 209 or reply to this e-mail shumphrey@nawcc.org with "Wills Kit" as your subject. We will promptly send you a helpful Wills Kit. For help in understanding wills and estate planning, you may also view the "Wills Guide" video series highlighted on the left side of this page.

If you are looking to increase your income, positively impact your estate and protect your loved ones, you may want to consider a charitable gift annuity or other planned giving instrument. You can learn more about these on this website or call us to assist you. There is even a "Create Your Plan" calculator available to help you consider various alternatives.

Stewardship of A Watch or Clock Collection
Since starting this hobby at my retirement in 1989, I have acquired a reasonably large library, mostly basic and well known classic references and a complete set of BULLETINS. More on Stewardship of A Watch or Clock Collection >>.

Fixed Income for Retirement
After working for decades as a pediatrician in a small rural town, Patricia Brown was ready to retire. Patricia owned some stock but was concerned about leaving it in the market where it could go up or down. She needed a secure source of retirement income for the future.

Peace of Mind Gift Annuity
Many years ago, Clara Lehman bought a home. Since she was so pleased with the home, she decided to buy stock in the company that builds and sells homes like it. Over the years, the stock has increased in value many times, but the value has been volatile. More on Peace of Mind Gift Annuity >>.
