Your Life Story Is a Page-Turning Best Seller

Your life story is a page-turning best seller.

Not because you’ve climbed Mount Everest, invented something revolutionary, or written a bestselling novel.

Because you are you.

Picture someone you love. Maybe your spouse, your mum, your dad, or your grandparent. Now imagine they had written their life story for you.

Not just the big milestones, like where they were born, where they lived, or what jobs they had. The little things, too. The first time they saw their favourite band. The songs they loved. The places that meant something to them. The funniest thing that ever happened to them. The memories they have of you. The advice they wish someone had given them when they were younger. Their hopes and dreams. The things they’re proud of. The things they learned the hard way. And, most importantly, how much they love you and what you’ve meant to them.

You’d treasure that, wouldn’t you?

You’d probably read it many times. Now flip the picture.

What would your loved ones feel if you left them your story?

To them, you are irreplaceable.

Your memories, your voice, your stories, and the way you saw the world are part of what makes you you. Once you’re gone, those things can become incredibly precious.

There are plenty of books filled with heroic deeds, incredible discoveries, and extraordinary adventures.

But to your loved ones, your life story is the page-turning best seller.

Your story is part of your legacy

When we talk about estate planning, we often focus on the legal documents.

Your Will. Your Enduring Power of Attorney. Your Advance Health Directive. They’re all important.

But your legacy is much bigger than the legal paperwork.

Your Letter of Wishes gives you a place to record the things that don’t belong in your Will, including your stories, memories, values, hopes, advice, and messages to the people you love

It gives your family something tangible to hold onto. Something that can be read now, shared later, and revisited for generations.

You don’t need to be a writer

You might be thinking, “I wouldn’t even know where to start.” That’s exactly why prompts can help.

You don’t need to sit down and write your entire autobiography.

Start with a memory. A person. A place. A lesson.

A story your kids have heard a hundred times. Something you want your grandchildren to know about you. Something you want your family to remember. One story becomes another, and before you know it, you’ve created something incredibly special.

Our My Estate Plan Workbook, including Letter of Wishes, is included in each of our Will Value Packages.

It includes prompts to help you record the stories, memories, guidance, and messages you want your loved ones to have.

Your life story matters.
