MORE THAN JUST YOUR MONEY
How We Guide You to Leave a Legacy That Is About Much More Than Just Your Money
After you are gone, your loved ones will miss you deeply. They will long for your words of counsel and concern. Hearing your voice again would be a tremendous gift.
Through our unique legacy process, you can give your loved ones the most precious gift — a lasting expression of your love.
What could be more valuable?
We believe estate planning is not just about transferring your financial assets and personal belongings.
It is also about capturing and transferring your valuable intangible gifts: who you are and what is important to you – your values, insights, stories, and experience.
Let Me Tell You a Story
Several years ago, my grandma died. She had left me a voicemail message on my cell phone and for years after she died, I would listen to it when I missed her until it was accidentally deleted.
How I wish I still had that voicemail message.
Or even better, that I had a recording of my grandma telling me what she loved about me, what her hopes for me were, what life lessons were most important to her, and what values she most wanted for me.
You Could Make a Recording, But Who Has Time?
When I was first in practice, I would tell my clients to record a message for their loved ones and put it in a safe place or simply write notes to their children letting them know how they felt about them. But so few people ever actually did it.
We just get so caught up with the day-to-day of our lives that focusing on leaving a legacy seems to take a back seat.
We Help You Capture These Precious Moments
We realized we would have to build this into our planning process and not make it just another thing you will get done someday.
That is why we make it part of our planning for every client to help you capture and pass on more than just your money: your intellectual, spiritual, and human assets, who you are, and what is important to you.
What Would It Be Worth?
Can you picture someone who has passed away, someone you love and miss deeply? Can you recall a conversation you had with them? Can you remember the sound of their voice and what they told you? What if you could hear their voice again?
What if they could speak to you — heart to heart — and share their wisdom and advice?
What would it be worth to you to hear their words one more time?
What is it worth to you to know that they will always know exactly how much you love them?
It is worth a lot to us and we are honored to be able to provide you and your family with this gift.
