My Story
I know the heartache of losing a relationship over a shared inheritance. My parents did their best by setting up a legal plan. Although they were keenly aware of relationship issues and unprepared heirs, they didn’t have access to an advisor who could mitigate these conditions while they were alive. Instead, they put their “hope” in their legal documents.
It wasn’t enough to protect our family.
And, it didn’t protect their wealth.
It’s what they didn’t know they didn’t know that could have saved our family.

Multiple #1 Bestselling Author, Leader of the Legacy Family Revolution Movement, and the grandmother known as “Elmo.”
Decades of research has proven the most effective method to thrive generationally is to prepare your family for life’s most difficult moments and a system for transferring success from one generation to the next.
Cindy Arledge brings a fresh new approach to an age-old problem. After surviving the destruction of her own family following her parents’ deaths, Cindy vowed to help other families flourish generationally by creating simple-to-use tools to avoid the pain she experienced. She invested decades of research to curate ancient wisdom, psychology, best practices from family dynamics industry leaders and life experiences to create simple tools to solve complex challenges.
Cindy created the Legacy Family Revolution to provide access to Family Transition Planning tools to avoid the pain and destruction her family experienced to make it easier to thrive now and 100 years into the future. In closing, I would love to share this poem that is the foundational principle for the Legacy Family planning process.
In the Crypts of Westminster Abbey, an Epitaph from the Tomb of an Anglican Bishop (AD 1100):
When I was young and free and my imagination had no limits, I dreamed of changing the world. As I grew older and wiser, I discovered the world would not change, so I shortened my sights somewhat and decided to change only my country.
But it, too, seemed immovable.
As I grew into my twilight years, in one last desperate attempt, I settled for changing only my family, those closest to me, but alas, they would have none of it.
And now, as I lie on my deathbed, I suddenly realize: If I had only changed myself first, then by example I would have changed my family.
From their inspiration and encouragement, I would then have been able to better my country and who knows, I may have changed the world.
This poem is the foundational principle for the Legacy Family planning process.
Change yourself.
Change your family.
Change the world.
