LegacyStories.org Unveils New Pilot Program Legacy Talks

(March 06, 2013)

Knoxville, TN (PRWEB) March 06, 2013

Legacy Talks Pilot Program - A recent survey asked baby boomers and their parents, When receiving or passing down an inheritance, what is more important; financial assets, heirlooms or life lessons? By a factor of almost eight to one, life lessons took top priority with financial assets on the bottom.

As important as this, is less than one percent of our elders, those who recorded the living history of the 20th century and possess arguably the greatest body of wisdom, have a legacy plan to pass down these life lessons to future generations.

The main reason seniors are not actively securing their legacy is that they dont know where or how to start, said Tom Cormier, President of LegacyStories.org.

We developed the Legacy Matters quick-start program for the senior living and financial services industries. Now with Legacy Talks we can reach families in every neighborhood so that anyone can secure their honored place in family history.

Legacy Talks are free educational workshops conducted by Certified Legacy Advisors for the express purpose of giving participants a taste of what a legacy can do for their family and future generations.

Held at hosts private home, friends, family and associates are invited to share photo memories that represent defining moments or special people that impacted the tellers life.

The Host is generally the star of the gathering, having five vintage photos scanned and uploaded to the digital library where the tellers oral narratives describing the photos are recorded with the sites voice recorder. The talking photos are then burned to an archival DVD to be included in the hosts estate plan.

Its amazing how much of our lives has been captured in old photos and how easy it is for the most timid people to describe them, remarks Kandy Davidson, a Certified Legacy Advisor from the Atlanta, Georgia area. Legacy Talks are the best way I have seen to get people started on their legacy plan. Its fun, compelling, and priceless.

The host receives the five talking photos, a storage account in the LegacyStories.org digital library, and the archival DVD at no cost, while guests set up appointments to do the same at a cost of under $100.

We can reach a lot of people that otherwise would never think about starting a legacy plan, says Yvonne Bausman, Certified Legacy Advisor from Twin Falls, Idaho. I expect my business to grow rapidly because of Legacy Talks. I get a chance to establish new personal relationships with wonderful people who can now give the gift of legacy to their family.
