Estate planning value isn’t just about legal paperwork—it’s about helping families preserve their legacy, memories, and values. In this week’s episode, Robyn Sechler joins us to share how she developed a powerful, heartfelt product that enhances estate planning and elder law services in a unique and meaningful way.
When families lose a loved one, they don’t just grieve the person—they often struggle over possessions tied to cherished memories. Robyn’s solution helps clients avoid these difficult moments by proactively organizing and preserving their family’s stories in a digital format.

Why Estate Planning Value Goes Beyond Wills and Trusts
Ask yourself: What are your family’s core values? Are they tied to objects, traditions, or stories passed down through generations? Robyn’s innovation helps capture those elements by transforming traditional planning into a tool for legacy building.
Her digital system allows families to secure, organize, and share personal photos, narratives, and family heirlooms—ensuring no memory is lost and no family member is left guessing about “who gets what.” This human-centered service elevates your law firm’s offering and provides clients with lasting peace of mind.
Helping Families Avoid Conflict Through Storytelling
With Robyn’s approach, memories are not just stored—they are organized in a way that allows each family member to relive special moments. Rather than sparking conflict over treasured items, her solution gives each individual a voice, especially the loved ones no longer present.
This level of personalization brings emotional closure and clarity to the estate planning process, allowing clients to feel understood and respected during a typically stressful time. It also empowers estate planning professionals to deepen client relationships through empathy and legacy-focused conversations.
The Role of Digital Tools in Delivering Estate Planning Value
Today’s clients are digital natives or are increasingly becoming comfortable with tech. Incorporating modern tools into your estate planning practice positions you as forward-thinking and client-first.
Robyn’s model shows how digitization doesn’t replace the human element; it enhances it. From preserving old photographs to narrating family history, digital memory curation becomes a practical and emotional asset within the estate planning process.
This type of value creation transforms your service from transactional to relational, turning clients into long-term partners.
Creating Annual Programs That Keep Clients Engaged
Robyn’s memory preservation system also introduces an innovative opportunity for law firms: annual maintenance programs.
These programs provide ongoing touchpoints with clients while helping them continually update and manage their digital legacy. Whether it’s uploading new photos, adding family milestones, or capturing new stories, your firm can become the trusted steward of their family legacy for years to come.
This strategy increases retention, deepens trust, and adds recurring revenue to your business model.
Marketing the Emotional Side of Estate Planning Value
Estate planning often centers on what happens after a person passes—but Robyn’s work reminds us of the value we can create before that point.
By tapping into a client’s emotions, memories, and values, your firm can differentiate itself from others offering purely legal solutions. Robyn’s story shows how meaningful it is to give families tools that preserve what truly matters: the voices, stories, and legacies of their loved ones.
This is an estate planning value that lasts.
