Personalizing Your Estate for Your Family Legacy

Personalizing Your Estate for Your Family Legacy

Your estate can do so much more than just distribute your material assets and make plans for your future healthcare. You can also plan wisely to create a lasting legacy for your family. Here are a few things to consider:

• Leaving a conditional trust – Want to encourage your grandkids to start their own company? Leave a conditional trust that can only be dispensed as business capital for a new startup. You can also leave conditional trusts for when a family member gets married, buys their first home, or has their first child. It allows you to have a hand in the future of your family, even if you are not there to enjoy the special moments with them.
• Letters and pictures – While we are in the age of emails and digital images, you can make an impact by providing special photos and letters for family members to cherish personally or proudly display.
• Recorded messages or videos – Since we do live in the digital age, it also gives you the unique opportunity to leave audiovisual messages for family members. This can introduce you to future generations and provide a cherished keepsake for your loved ones that allows them to benefit from your wisdom for years to come.
