Why we do what we do

The founder of My Legacy, LLC, shares his experience.

When my mother passed away, it was a very hard time for myself and my father. I saw, firsthand, the difficulties my dad went through to ensure her estate was properly and seamlessly addressed. As time went on and my father aged, I realized that I had no idea what to do when he eventually dies, in spite of the fact that he has a carefully prepared estate plan. Where does he keep his estate documents? What is the combination of his safe? Does he have a probate lawyer? Does he have designated beneficiaries or pay-on-death dispositions in all his accounts? What about his car? Whom will I need to contact or call? How do I transfer his valuables to me? I was immediately determined to find a way to solve this problem and answer these questions. I know so many other people out there have the same concerns or will struggle to solve the same problems when their loved ones pass. This led to the creation of My Legacy LLC and the Support Letter with a user-friendly tool to gather the information.

Our Mission

Our mission is to help families prepare for their future, alleviate end-of-life burdens, and create efficiency so they can better manage the difficulties of life.

WHY WE CARE

Families sacrifice and work hard to protect their loved ones when a spouse, parent, child, sibling, family member or friend passes on. To the suffering and loss of those left behind, significant burdens are added when they have to handle the end-of-life issues of the departed and to transition their estate.

You may know people who, after the passing of a spouse or an elderly parent, don’t even know where their checkbook is, whether or not there is a Will and Testament, or a Trust, what dispositions were made for the funeral, or what debts were left behind.

My Legacy LLC’s services are aimed at easing out these difficulties to allow the family the time to grieve and heal.  We also strive to ensure that those who feel alone during this process, are given direction and help to finalize the after-death responsibilities.
