Legacy Services

• We always start with a free consultation about your ideas and the kind of letter or letters you wish to write, either by phone or in-person, depending on your proximity. Once we have agreed to work together, you have several options. We generally can complete our work in 3-4 sessions.

•  In the comfort of your own home. I will send you questions to make the best use of our time together. Using my Legacy Writing Guide, I coach you through the writing exercises.  You can either begin writing or do the exercises and send them to me via email.  If you do not use email, you will speak your answers into my laptop which will automatically transcribe your words into text. Your words will be molded into a rough draft for further clarification and editing until we have an approved final document that is exactly what you want to say.

• By Internet.  I will send you my Legacy Writing Guide and some initial questions to make the best use of our time on the phone.  You will email your writing to me.  We will speak by phone at pre-determined intervals until we have a rough draft from which we continue to work. Our work is done when you have a document that pleases you and captures what is most important.

Please contact me directly for pricing on individual services.

Gift certificates are available. These are often done for special holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, etc. and often several family members divide the cost.

Talking with a Family Member about a Legacy Letter.  Often it is difficult to talk with a family elder about the benefits of writing such a letter and how much it would mean to you. This is a free discussion.
