What Happens After the Trust Is Signed?

A signed estate plan does not mark the finish line. It marks the starting line.

For years, FPM has helped families prepare customized estate plans rooted in biblical stewardship. But anyone who has walked with a grieving family knows that the real test often comes later—when a Successor Trustee must carry out the wishes of someone they love. That moment marks the beginning of FPM’s Legacy Services.

Legacy Services helps families through the estate administration process. Legacy Services brings practical guidance, personal encouragement, and live support when family members grieve, make decisions, gather documents, and seek to honor a loved one’s final wishes. This work is not theory. This work is serving at the moment ministry matters most.

Legacy Services also strengthens our partners.

Stewardship Pastors and Advancement Officers should not navigate this sacred season alone. Legacy Services equips those leaders to care for families, answer questions, and help shepherd charitable bequests toward future Kingdom impact. Legacy Services serves both the family and the Partner, giving both clarity, compassion, and confidence.

Why does Legacy Services matter so much right now? One of the greatest transfers of wealth in history has already begun. Faithful believers have made plans. Those believers have named bequests to ministries they love. Those believers want their final act of stewardship to bear fruit for the Gospel. Legacy Services helps protect those wishes from confusion, delay, and silence.

As an FPM Partner, you have a front-row seat to what God is doing in a rising stewardship movement among His people. Through this ministry co-op, you are part of the largest publicly documented, verified pipeline of planned gifts to Kingdom causes in the Christian community. More than 56,000 families have now received service, and they have designated more than $3.2 billion in future Kingdom funding. This work goes far beyond document preparation. This work fulfills legacy.

Planning matters. Fulfilled planning changes families, strengthens ministries, and advances the Kingdom.

That is Legacy Services – as only FPM can provide.
