The real cost of not planning

Your family won't find it in a drawer.
They'll find it in court.

When something happens, your loved ones have 30 days to juggle funerals, banks, insurance, the IRS, Social Security, and dozens of accounts they didn't know you had. Without a clear guide, grief becomes paperwork.

× Without a Legacy Book

  • Your spouse hunts through emails to find bank accounts and policies.
  • Digital accounts get locked — photos, subscriptions, crypto — forever.
  • Probate stretches 9–24 months. Legal fees pile up.
  • Disagreements between children over wishes you never wrote down.
  • Funeral decisions made in panic, not in peace.

✓ With The Legacy Book

  • Every asset, account and password organized in one place.
  • A step-by-step guide your loved ones can follow without a lawyer.
  • Your final wishes — medical, funeral, legacy — clearly written.
  • Personal messages to the people who matter most.
  • Peace of mind, today. A gift of clarity, tomorrow.
From the founders

We have family in America.
That's why we built this edition.

Arthur and Robin, co-founders of The Legacy Book Co., holding The Legacy Book Photo of Arthur & Robin with The Legacy Book
(save as assets/photo-fondateurs.jpg)

Hi — we're Arthur and Robin, the two French designers behind The Legacy Book. We started this project for our own families. "If something happens to me, will you know what to do?" — the question Arthur's grandmother Brigitte asked one evening, and that we couldn't answer.

Ten thousand families in France later, we kept getting the same message from our own relatives spread across the United States — from New York to Colorado, and a few states in between: "We love the French book, but the laws are completely different here. We need our own version."

So we rebuilt it, chapter by chapter, with U.S. estate law — Revocable Living Trusts, Durable POA, TOD and POD designations, RUFADAA, IRS Form 706. Same method. Same warmth. Made for your family, on your side of the Atlantic.

What readers say

Families who stopped putting it off.

The Legacy Book started as a French guide used by thousands of families. Here's what they wrote — and why we're now bringing it to the U.S.

★★★★★

"This book gave me back control. I know everything my children will need is organized — my estate, my passwords, even the small things. I sleep better, and so does the family."

"My wife and I filled it together. The procedures chapter alone is worth the price — our children will know exactly what to do, who to call, and in what order. That's the real gift."

Why now

The hardest part isn't dying.
It's leaving a mess behind.

Most American families learn too late that "I'll take care of it later" becomes a legal maze, locked accounts, and years of uncertainty. A few hours this weekend can save your loved ones a year of heartbreak.

Questions

Before you decide.

Is this legal advice or a will?

No. The Legacy Book is a guided workbook to organize what your family will need — it is not a substitute for a will, trust or attorney. Many of our readers bring their completed Legacy Book to their attorney and save hours of billable time.

Does it work in my state?

Yes. The book covers U.S. federal frameworks (Social Security, IRS, RUFADAA) and flags the areas — probate thresholds, intestate succession, homestead — that "vary by state," with prompts to fill in your local specifics. The State-by-State Probate Cheatsheet (bonus 3) fills in the rest.

How do I receive it?

Instantly. After checkout you get a download link plus an email copy of the PDF. Save it on your computer, print it, or share it with your spouse.

Can I fill it digitally?

Yes. The PDF is fillable in Preview (Mac), Adobe Reader and most PDF apps. You can also print all 85 pages and fill by hand in pencil — we designed it that way on purpose.

What if it's not for me?

30-day money-back guarantee. One email to contact@thelegacybook.net, full refund, no questions asked.

Is my data safe?

We never see what you write. The PDF lives on your computer, not our servers. That's the whole point — your legacy, in your hands.

Two hours this weekend.
A lifetime of peace for the people you love.
