Legacy Planners of America

At Legacy Planners of America, we believe that a legacy goes far beyond numbers on a balance sheet. A true legacy is made up of the wisdom, traditions, and defining moments that knit families together for generations.

Our mission is simple: to help clients preserve their family’s values in a way that’s accessible, meaningful, and lasting. Unlike lengthy autobiographies reserved for the ultra-wealthy, we’ve created easy-to-use DIY tools designed specifically for the mass-affluent community.

What is Legacy Planning?

Legacy Planning is a process that captures, organizes and preserves the family's Lived Experiences, Traditions and Values to Inform Future Generations

Legacy Planning makes families stronger, empowering each generation to build on the success of their elders and Ancestors.

An Emory University (2003) study found children who are informed of their family's unique Family Narrative demonstrate resilient personalities with higher levels of confidence and self-esteem.
