Section 8 — How to Leave a Legacy

John Allston said, "The only thing you take with you when you’re gone is what you leave behind." According to the dictionary, the word legacy means either "a gift by will especially of money or other personal property, or something transmitted by or received from an ancestor or predecessor or from the past." So, a legacy can be a material thing like money or a family heirloom, or it can be an immaterial thing such as knowledge or a family name. This section provides ideas and options for leaving a legacy for your loved ones.
