Mr. and Mrs. Richard L. Inderrieden ’57 have
been generous friends to Brophy for years and are among
the founding members of the Brophy Legacy Society. They
have graciously made provisions for Brophy in their
estate plans.
What prompted you to make provisions for estate
planning at this time in your lives?
“When my dad and a few close friends passed away,
I observed firsthand the legal process involved when
one dies. Though we’ve all heard about estate
planning and the potential consequences of not having
a plan, many of us don’t do anything about it
as the process seems intimidating or we simply procrastinate.
What caused us to act was when I realized that there
are really three destinations for your money when you
die: your heirs, charitable organizations or the IRS.
We wanted to be certain we selected the destinations
we wanted.”
How did you make your estate planning provisions?
“We contacted a good estate planning attorney
who helped us prepare a complete estate plan that covered
all our needs. We prepared and updated our wills and
other documents, including a Durable Power of Attorney
for Healthcare. The entire process was very easy and
inexpensive.”
Why did you choose to include Brophy in your estate
planning?
“Those of us who have lived ‘the Brophy
experience’ realize that Brophy developed the
core of who we are today. In addition to the cutting-edge
academics, Brophy develops men of honor, integrity,
responsibility, dedication and a sense of charity and
sharing. We are Men for Others. Judy and I have been
abundantly blessed. Many years ago we decided in a small
way to start sharing our good fortune with financially-challenged
folks who struggle with and depend on welfare and other
social programs for support. One way to help is to break
that chain of dependence one young man at a time by
educating him and offering him a new way of life. Being
part of the Brophy Legacy Society through our estate
planning, empowers Brophy to support a new generation
of proud, productive, spiritually developed citizens.”
