What Legacy Will You Leave?
Despite the common belief that an inheritance of money and material possessions is valuable, when the life of someone dear has been lost the perceived value of their financial assets depreciates rapidly.
What’s the point of $20,000 when your Mom isn’t there to share your wedding day or your worst hour?
Of course, writing a Will and taking care of our financial assets is essential for both legal and practical purposes. But what really matters are our “Emotional Assets” — the memories, family history, wisdom, life story, values, image, love and affections that we can capture and share with our children and grandchildren through a Legacy of Love; a precious gift they will treasure forever.
That’s why its so important to know how to create a Legacy of Love and Realize the Gift in Goodbye, especially if . . .
