Legacy & Life Document Organizing
How would it feel to finally have all of your important documents all in one place?
You have a lifetime of paperwork representing your family and achievements: a home, a family, financial accounts, medical records, memories. But if you don't have an organizing system in place, finding those items when you need them can be very challenging.
The answer is Life Organization by Generation! A comprehensive fillable system that helps you (and the people who love you) find what matters most, exactly when it's needed.
The framework walks you through every important area of your life, from healthcare providers and insurance policies to legacy wishes and end-of-life planning. It's designed to give you peace of mind and to spare your family the heartache of searching through filing cabinets in a moment of crisis.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this system designed for?
Life Organization is designed to empower individuals, families and their loved ones of all ages to organize and manage the information and essential documents related to important aspects of life in one place. Many adult children also purchase it for a parent, or start one for their own family.

How many organizing sessions will I need?
Not at all! You can start with the sections most relevant to you and build from there. Susan will help you prioritize based on your situation and what feels most pressing.
That depends on how many sections you'd like to complete. Some clients finish key sections in two or three sessions; others prefer to work through the full system over time. Susan will give you a realistic sense of what to expect after your free assessment.
What if this is too emotional?
That's a very natural response. Thinking about legacy, end-of-life wishes, and important documents can bring up a lot of feelings. Susan has supported many clients through exactly this, and she approaches every session with compassion and patience. You set the pace.
