Two sides of a legacy

Your story. Your wishes. What you choose to pass on.

Personal legacy

Who you are and what you pass on: your stories, memories and wisdom.

  • Your childhood, your parents and your life story
  • Outlook on life, values and life lessons
  • Family, relationships and your family tree
  • Family recipes, culture and traditions
  • A message for those who come after you

Practical legacy

What your loved ones need to know and arrange when you no longer can. So they do not have to search or guess.

  • Who to call in the first 72 hours
  • Who arranges what, and where documents are kept
  • Whether there is a will, and where it is
  • Insurance, bank, subscriptions
  • Your funeral wishes and your wishes for digital accounts
Look inside

Real pages from the book

How it works

Nothing has to be done at once.

  1. Fill in

    Whenever you feel ready. On your own or together.

  2. Keep

    In a safe place. Tell one or two people where it is.

  3. Pass on

    To those who come after you, in your own words.

From generation to generation

What you pass on begins with what you tell.

Stories, recipes, wisdom and wishes have always passed from hand to hand. My Legacy gives them a lasting place: in your words, in your own handwriting.

Why this book

Some questions you only ask once you miss them.

  • Which stories of your parents do you not actually know?
  • Which family recipe disappears if nobody writes it down?
  • Does your family know what matters to you?

Many people search for where they come from. My Legacy helps you record who you are, what matters to you and what you want to pass on. While you can, and in a way that brings peace of mind.
