Step 4: Legacy
The Main Questions
How important is leaving a legacy for you?
What do you regularly spend your time on?
What quotes speak most to you?
Who do you most admire?
What type of impact do you want to have on the world?
Have you thought about how a long, expensive, or difficult estate settlement could affect your legacy and how people remember you?
A person’s legacy is the lasting impact they leave on the world, encompassing their values, achievements, and influences across various areas like family, philanthropy, career, and the environment.
For Example:
Leaving a legacy is somewhat important to me.
I regularly spend time with my family.
The quote "Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love." speaks most to me.
I admire my father the most. His job was tough and he ended up breaking himself to support his family. His dedication to our family and his work has inspired me to take care of him and myself. It’s also pushed me to find a way to support my family without breaking myself.
I want to leave behind a strong family with love and support.
