You contribute to your personal legacy throughout your lifetime. You do this by allowing your values to inform the decisions you make, the actions you take, the relationships you invest in, the goals you set. You, like many, may find the very things that give your life meaning, purpose, joy, satisfaction or pride serve as a foundation for constructing your personal legacy. Throughout your lifetime you constantly impact the lives of others, human and animal.
Another part of your legacy is determined by how you decide to extend your values beyond your lifetime. By planning how your property and wealth, collected over your lifetime, is distributed after your death, you get a final opportunity to impact others through your final intentions, securing a last legacy. You do this through making an Estate Plan (also referred to as a Legacy Plan).
