Technology Helps Create Memories That Last Generations

Add Your Life Lessons to Your Estate Plan

Estate planning typically focuses on passing down assets through wills, trusts, and other estate planning instruments. However, a person is much more than the assets they have accumulated. Your life has been filled with joy, hardships, successes, laughter, and lessons. Have you considered how you will pass along these stories and lessons to future generations?

Estate Planning in the Digital Age

The amazing technological advancements society has experienced in the last several decades have dramatically improved our ability to leave a legacy. Individuals now have the opportunity to leave their loved ones videos, photographs, audio recordings, and other digital memories. Your children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and beyond can hear your voice or watch a video of you long after you have passed away. Technology allows us to bestow advice and wisdom to future generations that may have otherwise been lost to time.

Sharing Your Business Legacy

If you own a business, you know just how much time, effort, and hard work has gone into the business. You have also had the unique opportunity to see your business grow, change, and develop over time. The same technology that can be used to create a personal digital legacy can also be used to create a company legacy. Photographs, videos, and other media can be used to tell the story of how your business was founded and how it grew to be the success it is today. Many business owners worry that their original purpose and vision for their business will eventually fade away. Creating a company legacy in video format allows you to speak directly to future business owners, leaders, employees, and potential buyers. This ensures that they know where your business started, where it is headed, and why it has worth.
