Who we are and why we're here
At Lasting Legacy, we believe that decisions about your health and your assets are yours to make. We also know that following those wishes can be difficult for family members or friends when emotions run high. Whether it is a choice to remain safely in your own home for as long as possible, to follow your end of life health care wishes, or to organize a memorial service that you want, there are many options.
When choosing the person who will carry out your wishes, it's important to consider whether that person is willing to accept the responsibility. Someone who may seem the logical choice may not want the responsibility of making a long list of decisions or handling the business side of your affairs during what can be a very emotional time.
This is why we created Lasting Legacy. We've seen first-hand the sad results when a family member, friend or client either failed to create a plan, or the wrong person was placed in charge of carrying out their wishes.
By appointing a corporate entity such as Lasting Legacy to be your representative, you'll have not just one person, but a team of professionals working to take care of your affairs.
