Legacy Conversation Toolkit
THE ESTATE PLANNING ATTORNEY'S LEGACY CONVERSATION TOOLKIT
A practical meeting guide for preparing the people behind the estate plan.
Your estate plan may be legally sound. But are the people behind it prepared?
A free 15-page professional resource from Sterling Beaumont, author of The Beaumont Legacy Series.
Designed to complement — not replace — legal, tax, financial or investment advice.
The plan is only part of the legacy.
Estate planning establishes what happens to the wealth.
But families also need to prepare for what happens after the plan is written:
- Who will receive it
- What they will understand
- How they will communicate
- What happens when family members disagree
- How heirs will make decisions
- What happens in an emergency
- How wealth will be stewarded across generations
The Legacy Conversation Toolkit gives estate-planning professionals a practical structure for bringing these conversations into the planning process.
What you'll find inside

2. Family Readiness Assessment

Introduce the conversations that can help prepare the family alongside the legal work.

Why this exists
Estate planning prepares the transfer. Legacy planning prepares the people.
Sterling Beaumont created the Legacy Conversation Toolkit to help professionals address the human conversations that can determine how a carefully constructed estate plan functions when it meets real family life.
