Free Family Legacy Organizer
Help Your Family Find What Matters
If something happened to you tomorrow, would your family know where to find your important financial information? Would they know which life insurance company to contact? Where your bank accounts are held? Whether you have a retirement account, a living trust, or other important documents?
Many families have these things in place, but the information is scattered across filing cabinets, email accounts, online portals, and different financial institutions. The problem isn't always a lack of planning. Sometimes, it's a lack of organization. That's why I created the Free Family Legacy Organizer.
Why Every Family Needs a Financial Information Organizer
We spend time working, saving, purchasing homes, building retirement accounts, and protecting our families. But we don't always take the time to organize the information our loved ones may need if we are no longer here or become unable to manage our affairs.
Imagine your spouse or children having to figure out your financial picture during an already difficult season.
They may not know:
Which life insurance policies you own.
Where your checking and savings accounts are held.
Whether you have an IRA, 401(k), annuity, or investment account.
Who is listed as a beneficiary.
Whether you have a living trust or other estate planning documents.
Which professionals or companies they should contact.
Having this information organized can make an overwhelming situation easier to navigate.
What Is Included in the Free Family Legacy Organizer?
I created this 12 page resource to help you start gathering the most important information about your family's financial picture.
Inside, you can organize:
1. Family Financial Snapshot
Create a simple overview of your financial picture, including assets and liabilities.
2. Life Insurance Information
Record your insurance company, policy type, death benefit, policy number, premium, and beneficiaries.
3. Bank Accounts and Savings
Document the financial institutions where your checking, savings, and other cash accounts are held.
4. Retirement and Investment Accounts
Make a list of retirement plans, annuities, brokerage accounts, and other investments.
5. Real Estate and Property
Record important information about your home and other properties.
6. Beneficiaries and Important Contacts
Keep track of beneficiary information and the people or professionals your family may need to contact.
7. Estate Planning Documents
Identify whether you have a living trust, will, financial power of attorney, advance health care directive, and other important documents. Record where they are stored.
8. Important Family Instructions
Give your loved ones a starting point for locating important records and understanding where to begin.
Who Should Use a Family Legacy Organizer?
This resource is helpful for:
Parents who want to prepare their children and spouse.
Married couples who want to organize their financial information together.
Single parents who want someone they trust to know where important information is located.
Homeowners with mortgages, insurance, and other financial obligations.
Adults helping aging parents organize their affairs.
Anyone who wants to be more intentional about their family's financial future.
You don't have to be wealthy to have a financial legacy. If you have accounts, insurance, property, or people who depend on you, organization matters.
Start With Organization. Then Review Your Protection.
An organizer helps you see what you have. It may also help you notice what you don't have, what information is missing, or what needs to be updated. For example, you may discover that you have life insurance but haven't reviewed your beneficiaries in years. You may have a retirement account from a former employer that your spouse doesn't know about. You may have a living trust but aren't sure whether your assets are properly coordinated with it.
These are important things to review.
Once you have completed your organizer, I encourage you to take our 60 Second Family Protection Checkup to look for potential gaps in your family's protection plan.
