Build a Foundation of Values for Your Plan
to Pass On Your Financial Legacy



A Message for Estate and Financial Planners,
Attorneys, and Development Officers


"At a time when America's elderly are in the process of transferring a staggering $25 trillion to their children and grandchildren in the biggest such wealth distribution in history, a [recent] survey [2700 baby boomers and folks 65 and older] indicated
...it's about a lot more than just the cash."

We’ve been taught to pass our money on to our heirs. But our culture has no tradition for giving future generations our most valuable gift: the meaning of our lives.

We need a vehicle to bequeath what really matters and what our loved ones yearn to receive:

Our histories & our roots
Our stories & our experience
Our personal possessions
Our values & our ethics
Our hard-earned wisdom
Our life lessons & instructions
Our blessings & our love

I can put tools in your hands that will humanize your client relationships, and secure an approach to estate and philanthropic planning that honors and transmits more than their money. Contact me Rachael Freed for more information.
