A cinema-quality legacy video, recorded in our Walnut Creek studio.

Sample legacy video — coming soon
Your documents protect what you have. Your video preserves who you are.
An estate plan takes care of the legal machinery of passing things on — who gets what, and when. But a trust can’t capture the voice of the person leaving it. A legacy video can. Every CTL trust client receives a professionally produced personal history video, recorded in our Walnut Creek studio. It’s yours to keep, to share with family, and to leave alongside your plan.
Shaped to your family

What you experience
You walk into a warm, well-lit room. We sit with you, make you comfortable, and have a conversation — not an interview. You don’t need to prepare. You don’t need to memorize anything. Our job is to help you feel like yourself on camera.
Why we include it
Because the binder is never the whole story.
Ask anyone who has lost a parent what they’d trade for another hour of hearing them talk. A trust document answers questions your family will have. A legacy video answers questions your family won’t even think to ask — until the day they need to.
“Your grandchildren will spend more time on screens than any generation before them. A Legacy Video gives them a way to actually know who you were — in the medium they already live in. Not a paragraph in a will. Not a story handed down secondhand. You, in your own voice.”
