The Assets Your Family Doesn't Know You Have

 

It's more common than most people think: a small investment account, an old property, a forgotten policy - assets that simply never get found because nobody knew to look for them.

 

 

How assets get lost, not stolen

Nobody sets out to hide an asset from their family - it just happens gradually. An account opened years ago, a property inherited and half-forgotten, an investment made on a whim. None of it is written down anywhere your family would think to check, and so it quietly disappears from the estate entirely.

 

What belongs on a full asset list

  • Bank and investment accounts, including smaller or older ones
  • Property, including any not currently lived in
  • Vehicles, valuables, and collections of note
  • Business interests or shares

 

One honest list, total clarity

Your Legacy Stories journal has a page for a full, honest list of everything you own - so nothing is ever left behind by accident, and nothing becomes a source of confusion or dispute later.

 

Make sure nothing you've built gets left behind. Start listing your assets today or get a When I'm Gone Journal to record your important information.
