Leave a Legacy
Estate Planning
What is important about your legacy to you?
Start by reflecting on what you have done with your life so far, and then ask yourself if that is the legacy you want to leave behind.
- What have I given to others?
- Do I have anything left to give?
- What did I do to change things that were wrong?
- Who did I help?
- Who will remember me?
- What will they remember about me?
- Who will tell my story?
- How will they tell it?
- Did I matter?
