💌 A Letter from Me to You: Why I Created the Legacy Journal

Dear Ladies,

Over the years, I’ve helped many women put their estate plans in place—drafting wills, listing assets, ticking all the boxes that traditional institutions require. But time and again, I was left with a quiet ache. Something was missing.

You see, most systems—banks, other lawyers, and institutions—focus only on what you own: your property, your policies, your paperwork. They care about the distribution of your estate. But they rarely pause to consider who you are. What you believe. What made you laugh. What you wanted to say but never got the chance to.

And that’s where Vault de Jure is different.

We’re not just here to help you plan your estate. We’re here to help you preserve your voice.

That’s why I’ve created the Legacy Journal—a deeply personal, guided memory book designed to sit beside your estate plan. It’s a space for your story, your heart, and your reflections. Because your legacy is not only what you leave behind in material form—it’s the life you lived, the lessons you learned, and the love you gave.

This journal is for your children, your grandchildren, and their children. It’s for anyone who might one day wonder:Who was she? What did she believe in? What did she love most in this world?

The Legacy Journal pairs beautifully with your:

• Vault of Rights – to ensure your wishes are both documented and understood, where your legal documents are secured alongside your personal intentions

• Legacy Box – to hold the memories, letters, and keepsakes that tell your story

It’s a gift you can give to yourself, or someone you love, before it’s too late.

This isn’t about perfect grammar or polished writing. It’s about truth. Heart. Connection. It’s about capturing the beautiful, complex, real person you are—so that your voice lives on, even when you no longer can speak it.

If you’ve ever wanted to leave something more meaningful than just a set of legal documents, this is it.

With love and purpose,

Melanie
