The Life & Legacy Program
The Life & Legacy Program gives families the tools to use during a family crisis or loss of a loved one. It provides timely and accurate information that can help ease the emotional burden of needing to provide and sort through the details of life. The struggle of trying to find information costs time, money, and exacts an emotional toll on all those involved. A family emergency is hard for everyone but can be made easier.
With the Life & Legacy Program we act as your personal assistant. We work with you to gather your information and organize it for you and your family. Easy access is provided both digitally and by physical copy. Additionally, you can update your plan throughout the year or wait until we meet for your annual review of your Life & Legacy Plan. As Thomas Scott said, "A person cannot leave a better legacy to the world than a well-educated family."
