✨ Is Your Legacy Plan Aligned With the Life You’re Building in 2026?

A new year isn’t just about resolutions —

it’s about direction, protection, and intention.

January is the ideal time to reset not only your goals, but also the legal structures that support your family, business, and long-term vision.

This month, we’re focusing on Legacy Goal Setting — ensuring your estate and business plans align with where you’re headed, not just where you’ve been.

Because a powerful year starts with a protected foundation.


5 Legacy Goals

🎯 5 Legacy Goals Every Legacypreneur™ Should Set for 2026

1. Define What “Legacy” Means to You This Year

🧭 Legacy evolves as life changes.

Your priorities today may look different than they did even a year ago.

🔑 Pro Tip: Write down your top 3 legacy goals for 2026 — family, business, impact, or wealth preservation.

2. Align Your Estate Plan With Your Current Life

📜 If your documents no longer reflect your reality, they no longer protect you properly.

🔑 Pro Tip: Review guardians, trustees, beneficiaries, and decision-makers at the start of the year.

3. Strengthen the Legal Foundation of Your Business

💼 Growth brings opportunity — and risk.

Your legal structure should support expansion, not limit it.

🔑 Pro Tip: Ensure your operating agreements and succession plans match your 2026 business vision.

4. Plan for Leadership Continuity

🔁 Who steps in if you can’t?

Whether temporarily or permanently, leadership clarity protects everything you’ve built.

🔑 Pro Tip: Update powers of attorney and business authority documents annually.

5. Commit to Ongoing Legacy Maintenance

🛡️ Legacy planning isn’t a one-time event — it’s a strategy.

🔑 Pro Tip: Schedule at least one mid-year review to keep everything aligned.
