Because I Love You: A Legacy Planning Companion
A Free Checklist & Webinar
53% of widows report that they and their spouse did not have a plan in place for what would happen if one of them passed away.
We have seen first-hand the impact that a detailed Legacy Plan has on our clients and their loved ones. This experience inspired us to create our Legacy Planning Checklist.
To make it easier, we’ve created a three-part Webinar which will take you through the checklist step by step to make sure you finish with confidence. Each session is hosted by Certified Financial Planners™ Stacy Francis and Natalie Colley, who share practical guidance, real examples, and tools to help you build your personalized legacy plan with clarity and confidence.
Planning Your Legacy
A 3-Part Series

Laying the Groundwork – The Essentials of Legacy Planning
Start by getting the essentials in order. This session helps you organize your online accounts, Social Security information, and workplace benefits so your loved ones have clear access to everything they’ll need. You’ll also learn which documents are essential, from wills and powers of attorney to healthcare proxies, and how to keep them current as your life evolves.

Insurance & Asset Essentials
Once your foundation is set, this session helps you protect it. You’ll learn how to document and update health, long-term care, and property insurance policies to avoid costly gaps in coverage. The session also covers how to create a clear record of all your financial accounts and assets, so your loved ones can easily locate important information and avoid unnecessary stress.

Digital Assets & Executor Preparation
The final session brings everything together. It walks you through organizing credit cards, taxes, monthly expenses, and important contacts like your attorney, accountant, and financial advisor. You’ll also outline your aging plan and personal wishes, covering medical care preferences, living arrangements, and end-of-life considerations, so your plan truly reflects who you are and what matters most.
Planning for the end of life may feel difficult, but it is one of the most generous and loving things you can do for the people you care about. The Because I Love You checklist is here to help you prepare, not out of fear, but out of care.
This guide walks you through the essential information your loved ones may need in your absence: from financial accounts to key documents, personal wishes to practical details. It’s a way to ease their burden during a profoundly emotional time, offering clarity when they need it most.
You don’t need to complete everything all at once. Start with one small step. Then review and update it regularly, so your plan stays current and meaningful. In doing so, you’re creating a legacy of love, peace, and preparedness.
