Plan and Share Your Final Wishes
There is a great deal of information available today on how to leave a financial legacy for your family, and there's no doubt that is important. But you can leave another final and very practical legacy for your family by taking time to record your wishes and tell them where to find your important records and documents. To assist you, we've prepared a Personal Journal of Wishes and Records®.
The Journal is designed to help your survivors, because families experiencing a loss may have difficulty concentrating and often find themselves struggling to make final arrangements and to put paperwork in order. They may even question decisions they are making, asking themselves and each other if their choices are really what their loved one would have wanted.
By using the Journal, you leave a lasting record, which can help your survivors make immediate decisions, as well as help them with long-range planning and, perhaps most importantly, ensure that your wishes will be carried out when you are no longer here.
The Personal Journal of Wishes and Records contains information about all your important documents, as well as questions for you to answer. It also contains information regarding resources available to survivors, such as where to call to find out about military benefits and Social Security, as well as other information to help your family during a time of grief.
Though the Journal is comprehensive, it is not a replacement for estate and legal counsel. Click here to download your free copy of a Personal Journal of Wishes and Records.
