A gift for the parent who already has everything
Another jumper, another gadget, another box of chocolates. Or somewhere to put the things only they know — their stories, their wishes, and where everything is kept.
Give Better Legacy$59.99 for one person, $99.99 for both parents. One payment, a full year, nothing renews on its own.
Why this, and not another present
They already have everything
Past a certain age, more objects are a burden rather than a treat. What most people that age have not got is a place where their own account of things is written down.
It is the conversation, not the app
The value is not the software. It is that a gift gives you a natural reason to ask — and gives them a reason to answer, in their own time rather than across a kitchen table.
It answers the questions you will one day have
Where the will is. Which accounts exist. What they wanted. Families discover these things at the worst possible moment, and almost always too late to ask.
The stories are the part they enjoy
Most people begin by recording something for a grandchild, not by listing insurance policies. That part tends to be a pleasure, and it makes the practical part possible.
When people give it
There is rarely a perfect moment. These are the ones that come up most.
- Christmas
- A milestone birthday — 70th, 75th, 80th
- Mother's Day or Father's Day
- A retirement
- After a health scare, when it is suddenly on everyone's mind
- When a parent is downsizing or moving
Honest answers
My mother is not good with technology.
It runs in an ordinary web browser on a computer or tablet as well as on a phone, so there is no app store account to wrestle with. And you can set it up for her and invite her in once it is already started.
Is this not a morbid thing to give someone?
It is mostly about what they want remembered rather than about dying. Nearly everyone starts with a story or a message for someone, not with paperwork. Adding a note of your own to the gift makes that reading obvious.
What happens after the year?
Nothing renews by itself, and they are never asked for card details. We email you — the person who paid — before it runs out, so you can decide whether to extend it.
Can I give it to both my parents?
Yes. Add a second person at checkout for $99.99 instead of $119.98. They each get their own account and their own code.
