Kathy Najimy Auctions Her Eccentric Treasures to Demystify Estate Planning

While Pew Research Center data shows nearly 70% of American adults lack a formal will, ARAG is attempting to pivot the conversation away from morbidity. By launching the campaign during National Estate Planning Awareness Month, the company hopes to reframe estate management as a proactive celebration of one’s life and legacy. Fans can visit TheGreatWinheritance.com through October 31 to pitch why they deserve items from Najimy’s personal collection, which includes an "all-seeing" ring and an eye-patterned jacket.

Najimy utilized ARAG’s LegalNow platform to update her own estate documents, a process the company aims to simplify through DIY templates and network attorney access. Chris Owens, ARAG’s Director of Marketing, noted that Najimy’s involvement helps strip away the intimidation factor often associated with legal planning. To encourage participation, ARAG has reduced the cost of its DIY document service to $99 for the remainder of the month, providing a tangible incentive for those who have long delayed putting their affairs in order.
