"What man really fears is not so much extinction, but extinction with insignificance. Man wants to know that his life has somehow counted, if not for himself, then at least for a larger scheme of things, that it has left a trace, a trace that has meaning, its effects must remain alive in eternity in some way."

—Ernest Becker, Pulitzer Prize-winning Author

LEGACY PLANNING

There comes a time in your life when you long to know that your life somehow has purpose. You seek to leave a meaningful mark on the world.

Done properly legacy planning can help you use the resources and experiences you've accumulated in life to make a lasting impression on those you love and the causes you believe in. It goes beyond will and estate planning. Creating a legacy plan starts with a simple exercise that helps you articulate your values and interests and develop a list of desired lifetime achievement - a bucket list of you will. It also provides the opportunity to document many personal and practical details that upon your passing will prove to be invaluable to your survivors.

All in all your legacy plan ensures that upon your death your loved ones will be left with clarity instead of chaos, the causes you believe in will be supported, and you will have made an enduring imprint on the world.

What will you leave behind? How will you be remembered?
