More Than Just Your Money: Leaving a Real Legacy – Who You Are & What’s Important to You

How We Guide You to Leave a Legacy That’s About Much More Than Just Your Money
 
After you are gone, your loved ones will miss you deeply. They will long for your words of counsel and concern. Hearing your voice again would be a tremendous gift.
 
Through our unique legacy process, you can give your loved ones the most precious gift – a lasting expression of your love. What could be more valuable?
 
At Lory Moore Law we believe estate planning is not just about transferring your financial assets and personal belongings. It’s also about capturing and transferring your valuable intangible gifts: who you are and what’s important to you – your values, insights, stories and experience.
 
This value-add portion of our Legacy Interview is a very personal addition for me. After my beloved daddy died, I had numerous voice mails on my phone that I would listen to during the moments I needed to feel his presence. “Lory, this is your dad. Call me back. Love ya!” A few weeks after he passed, I was in an airport and someone took my phone. I was absolutely devastated, desperately using my husband’s phone to call my phone repeatedly, begging whoever picked it up to please, please, PLEASE return it.

I can’t even express how happy I was when a security guard called my husband’s phone and said the phone had been found! Lesson learned: the lingering, poignant power of my papa’s voice was a deeper value to me than any billion dollar inheritance.

I have always told my clients to record a message for their loved ones and put it in a safe place or simply write notes to their children letting them know how they felt about them.  But so few people ever actually did it. We just get so caught up with the day to day of our lives that focusing in on leaving a legacy seems to take a back seat.
 
After my devastating experience temporarily losing my daddy’s voicemails, I knew we’d have to build this into our planning process and not make it just another thing you’ll get done someday. That’s why we make it part of our planning for every client to help you capture and pass on more than just your money: your intellectual, spiritual and human assets, who you are and what’s important to you. The legacy you’ve worked a life to lead.

WHAT WOULD IT BE WORTH?
 
Can you picture someone who’s passed away, someone you love and miss deeply?   Can you recall a conversation you had with them? Can you remember the sound of their voice and what they told you?  What if you could hear their voice again?
 
What if they could speak to you—heart to heart—and share their wisdom and advice?  What would it be worth to you to hear their words one more time?
​
What is it worth to you to know that they’ll always know exactly how much you love them?  It’s worth a lot to us and we are honored to be able to provide you and your family with this gift.
