Say what matters—when the moment is right.
Legacy Letters™ will let you write, record, and securely schedule personal messages for the people you love—to be opened on a specific future date or after a designated life event has been verified.

“Some words belong to a moment that has not arrived yet.”
Preserve your voice for a day that will matter.
There are things we hope to say at a wedding, a graduation, a milestone birthday, a difficult season, or a family turning point. But timing, distance, health, or life itself can make that uncertain.
Legacy Letters is being designed to help families prepare those messages now, preserve them privately, and release them under clear conditions—so encouragement, advice, gratitude, and love can reach the right person at the intended time.
Write for the occasion—or for the person who may need your words.
A Legacy Letter can celebrate a milestone, offer guidance, preserve a private message, or simply say what should never be left unsaid.
Weddings & Anniversaries
Share memories, hopes, and relationship wisdom on a day filled with meaning.
Birthdays
Mark a milestone with a personal message written before the day arrives.
Graduations
Celebrate growth, recognize the journey, and offer guidance for what comes next.
New Children
Welcome a new family member with the story, values, and hopes you want them to inherit.
Advice & Encouragement
Prepare words of strength for a challenge, transition, or uncertain season.
Messages for the Future
Leave a private expression of love, gratitude, explanation, or family perspective.
Your words. Your voice. Your presence.
Legacy Letters is designed to preserve written, audio, and video messages together in one sealed letter.
Audio can also be transcribed into text. Templates for common life events can provide a starting point, while optional AI assistance can help organize or develop what you want to say.
Templates and AI can help you begin. The meaning must still come from you. The strongest Legacy Letter will sound unmistakably like the person sending it.
A specific date—or a verified future event.
The release condition is selected when the letter is created. The two paths work differently.
Date-based letter
Choose the calendar date when the designated recipient may open the letter.
Event-based letter
Name the future event and designate a Trustee who can initiate verification when it occurs.
From a message in your heart to a letter waiting for its moment.
Name the recipient
Add the recipient’s contact details and, for an event-based letter, designate a Trustee.
Choose the release
Select a specific date or describe the future event that must be verified.
Create the message
Write, record audio, record video, or combine all three. Use a template or AI assistance if helpful.
Seal and schedule
Save the letter, review its status, and send the appropriate notices to the recipient or Trustee.
Notifications help the recipient preserve access.
A future letter is useless if the recipient never learns it exists or loses the only notice.
The planned workflow allows notices by email or SMS and invites recipients and Trustees to save them inside their Leaves accounts if their contact information changes.
Notify the recipient that a sealed letter exists and explain when or how it can be opened.
Invite the recipient to save it in Leaves instead of depending forever on one email address or text.
Letter cards show the release type, included formats, notice status, Trustee information, and whether a letter remains sealed or has opened.
The creator identifies the Trustee and sends a link explaining the responsibility.
When the named event occurs, the Trustee uploads supporting documentation and certifies it.
The planned compliance process checks the Trustee and supporting evidence before release.
After approval, the recipient learns that the letter is available to open.
A person and a review process stand between the event and the release.
The Trustee’s role is not to write the letter or choose its recipient. The role is limited to helping verify that the specified event occurred.
This additional step matters because certain events cannot be established reliably by a date alone. The recipient flow and Trustee experience remain part of the product design work before release.
Review the letter while it waits.
The creator’s dashboard is designed to show what each letter contains, whom it is for, how it will be released, and what still needs attention.
See its formats
Icons indicate whether a letter includes text, audio, video, or a combination.
Check notices
See whether recipient and Trustee notifications have been sent.
Edit before release
Add something you remembered or revise the message while the letter remains sealed.
Manage the letter
Review release details, update information, or delete the letter if plans change.
In Case You Ever Need Strength
“I wanted you to have these words for a day when the road feels uncertain. You come from people who kept going—and that same strength is already in you.”Connected to Document Archive™
The message can remain part of the family record.
An opened letter does not have to disappear after its moment passes.
The planned experience keeps opened letters visible to the appropriate user and recipient. Either can send the opened letter to Document Archive, where it can remain connected with the family’s other preserved records and stories.
What families should know.
A Legacy Letter can include a written message, an audio recording, a video recording, or all three. Audio may also be transcribed into text.
The creator chooses either a specific future date or a defined future event. Event-based letters require a designated Trustee and a verification process before the recipient is notified that the letter can be opened.
The planned workflow allows the creator to revise a sealed letter before release, including after notices have been sent, in case there is more to add or circumstances change.
For an event-based letter, the Trustee helps initiate verification that the named event occurred. The Trustee submits supporting proof through the planned verification portal; the Trustee does not need access to the letter’s private contents.
The creator can send a notice by email or SMS. The planned workflow encourages recipients to save that notice inside Leaves and provides reminders associated with the release condition.
The opened letter remains visible to the appropriate user and recipient. The planned experience also allows it to be sent to Document Archive for continued preservation.
Legacy Letters is planned for a future release after the Family Heritage Hub launches. Leaves will announce availability when the creator, recipient, and Trustee experiences are ready for dependable use.
