We all leave a legacy. It should be one of Love and Understanding, but it might be one of angst and frustration. Your Family’s Guiding Light allows you to leave information to your loved ones about important matters, in a time when you are unable to do so yourself.

Have you ever heard of someone you know that left a mess and a nightmare for their family? No one knew where any of the accounts were, where the key to the safety deposit box was, or who the attorney was that created the estate planning documents. Your Family’s Guiding Light allows you to easily fill in information that your loved ones need in order to properly take care of you. The gift of information and love. When you can’t.

This Booklet is interactive with links for ease of navigation. We suggest printing out and putting the booklet in a 3-ring binder, and remove and replace pages as needed, when information changes. That way, you will always have the most current information for your loved ones!

45 Pages.

    This is very helpful. My father has moments of great recall, and, as I am taking care ofhim, then those come, I pull out this book to get the information that I will eventually need. So why not get it now. I’m afraid it might eventually be sooner than later.

    I know that this will help when the time comes. Thanks.

    Great workbook. I just dropped my mom off at her new apartment at the assisted living facility. We sat down together to get all this information into one book. There are some accounts that she was unsure of, but now I know where to look to find them. I am so thankful that I am doing this with her while she is alive. It is a great thing to do for my brother and sister, and it is quality time with my mom.

    This is the ultimate in putting everything in one place. I had to settle my mom’s estate, and what a mess it was putting everything together. There were several bank accounts that no one knew about. And I guess my dad bought some land in another state with the intent on building a summer home. And after he died, my mom wasn’t sure what to do with it, so she did nothing. Now, I have to do everything. I wish she had used this.
