Bespoke Legacy Programs & Services
The Legacy Forum™ introduced many programs and services over 35 years. They focused on both individuals, couples, children of all ages and families as a whole.
Many of the custom services listed below are now included as part of the full Family People Office in The Foundations of Legacy™. They are all highly bespoke and created only for a select few of our clients.
We find that many clients who work with us in dealing with marital, parenting, retirement, succession or even addiction issues, come to see the need for the family systems and risk mitigation architecture The Family People Office™ provides. It is cohesive, holistic, responsive and you have the opportunity to build a trusted relationship with our Advisors.
However, some offerings, such as The Legacy Nexus™ (Next-Gen), The Aetilier', The Conversation™ (Trans-Atlantic Advisory Cruise), are not included or listed in Legacy Select. These are Select Signature offerings of The Legacy Forum™.
The Socrates Advisory™ provides a range of options, each tailored to your needs, and connects you with a wise and trusted Legacy Advisor™ who can assist with challenges, guidance, or problems.
We are here to serve you and your family. We remain committed to working with clients as we have for thirty-five years managing crises, bringing back stability and direction, managing a full range of Mental Health and other life challenges.
*All of these Legacy Forum™ products and services can be accessed individually without enrolling in The Family People Office™.

The Conversation™
There are times and situations in our lives when we need to have Conversations of consequence. We need to make decisions that determine the course of our lives and are likely to impact the lives of others, and our wealth. There are issues which demand more than just an hour or two thinking through a next move but issues which when we make the decision we will know we have worked through it fully. There are issues which are weighty, will have wide-ranging and consequential outcomes.
The Legacy Forum™ Advisory has crafted a Forum which focuses almost exclusively on the decisions, relationships and transitions that are particular to G1. This unique venue allows us to talk without the rush or distractions of life, all in old world elegance. Legacy Advisors™ wise and highly trained in the art of decision-making will be your Trusted Advisor and confidant on The Conversation™.
-
The Forum Venue - The Cunard Lines Trans-Atlantic, 7-day cruise on the Queen Mary 2.
-
Length of Forum - Seven (7) days from New York to Southampton or Southampton to New York.
-
Forum Format - Normally an individual or couple. You can select one or two Legacy Advisors™ for your Conversation.
The agenda of The Conversation™ will be determined by you. Recurring issues clients have needed to talk through are:
-
Succession - Who will be the best person to take the reigns of the business you have spent forty years building? How will the decision be thoroughly examined with all distractions sidelined? Where to find a place where all countless voices seeking to influence the choice are silenced? Where can the options be assessed and greater clarity be found? Where can a non-interested, expert Advisor(s) be found that is not rushed, biased, or have some advantage from the ultimate decision, work slowly, thoughtfully and with the highest level of confidentiality?
-
Possible Retirement and Beyond - When is the optimal time to hand over the reigns of control? What are the psychological factors and emotions I will encounter when I make the decision? What are the psychological barriers holding me back from handing over control of what I started, created, and have made a great success? What are my greatest fears related to my physical health, social position, realization that life has transitions and maybe my mortality is a reality? How do I frame and explain my decision? Don't most men die soon after they retire? What is next, my options, my bucket list, my opportunities? What will my first day of retirement look and feel like?
There are countless questions and situations just like these two major issues. The question is where and how can I find a place and some one who can help me? The outcome of this decision could be worth millions of dollars gained or lost. People's lives deeply affected.
Pre-Boarding - The Conversation™ does not begin when you board the ship. Prior to leaving we want to make sure you and the appropriate Legacy Advisor are a good fit. In addition, there will be at least one or two calls or meetings to frame the central issue you are seeking clarity on.
Post-Docking - After the cruise The Conversation™ will continue until you believe the issue is settled and your direction clear. Your Legacy Advisor™ will work with you and assist you in meeting whatever is necessary and you require to articulate and follow through with your decision. A written report of the process will also be provided.
For more information on open dates, cabin selection options, and to discuss the The Conversation™ in greater detail, please contact us. Please be aware, there is very limited availability specifically on the Trans-Atlantic cruises.

Legacies are much more than a few stories, memories, a brief chronological timeline, and a gesture of appreciation. In fact, your family legacy is your most valuable asset; however, it is critical that you treat it with the utmost priority. If you let it fade away, your family will gradually become fragmented and, consequently, your wealth will also evaporate. We hope that you feel inspired to start exploring, narrating, preserving, and showcasing your family legacy, to anchor, engage, and inspire your family members, and far beyond, for generations to come. Your family legacy is your most vital engagement and alignment tool, educational source, and inspirational resource, the key to achieving a thriving future for your family, various entities, investments, and all endeavors based on your family-unique foundations.

Should you wish, we may also collect, synthesize, actualize, and build upon your already extant legacy materials, bringing them to much greater relevance.

We are multilingual and culturally astute, embracing and guiding you through the multilayered cultural, social, and other sensitivities surrounding your family legacy, including the nuances of language-related narrative constellations across different cultures.
The Legacy Retreat Forums
Our Legacy Retreats are one of the highlights of everything we do. Being able to remove ourselves from all the noise of life for the purpose of personal and family growth is what makes them so special. We have a number of retreat formats that are determined by the people who attend, the length of time and the venues we host them at.
The Foundations of Legacy™" We incorporate short retreats into our signature Legacy program, the 12-month, Foundations of Legacy™". We always try and schedule one close to the start of "The Journey". The others are scheduled at the end of each section of the program. It becomes a time for your family and your Advisors to get to know each other in an accelerated way.
We know our clients can go anywhere and do anything at a moments notice or choice. Many have jets and there is little that the retreat setting will do to impress them. We have a variety of options for retreats and have also held them at various homes our clients own.
