FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Executorium Launches Legacy Builder, a Free Tool to Help Families Capture the Story of a Loved One’s Life
New online forms help families, executors, and project coordinators gather memories, chronology, and personal reflections after a loss
Tranquility, April 8, 2026 — Executorium has launched Legacy Builder, a free online tool designed to help families, heirs and executors, capture important details about the life of loved ones who has passed away. Created as a simple, practical starting point, Legacy Builder helps preserve the stories, milestones, and personal qualities that might otherwise be lost in the days and months following a death.
Legacy Builder consists of three companion tools: Legacy Builder, Legacy Builder Extended and Legacy Builder Favorites. Each includes 25 guided questions that help respondents share both factual details and personal reflection. Used together, the two tools complement one another by helping capture chronology, life details, family context, personality, and the texture that makes a life story meaningful.
Some examples…
- What was their full name, nickname, and when and where were they born?
- Where did they grow up, and what were the major places they lived throughout life?
- What schools did they attend, what did they study, and did they serve in the military?
- What might they order if you went out to a restaurant? What was their favorite food?
- How would you describe their personality, values, favorite sayings, and the simple things they enjoyed most?
Between Legacy Builder, Legacy Builder, and Legacy Builder Favorites there are over 100 questions that can be answered.
When a respondent clicks Submit on either Legacy Builder, Legacy Builder Extended, or Legacy Builder Favorites, they receive an email containing both the questions and their answers in the body of the message. The email also includes an attached CSV file with the same questions and responses in spreadsheet format. This allows a single family coordinator or project manager to collect, review, and compare submissions from multiple contributors more easily. Respondents may also copy additional family members on the submission, making it easier to gather deeper and more complete perspectives on the loved one being remembered.
The content gathered through Legacy Builder can be saved, shared, organized, or used however the family chooses. It may serve as source material for a biography, life story, remembrance, family history project, or Legacy Book. It may also be uploaded into ChatGPT or another writing tool to help shape a draft narrative from the collected responses.
Legacy Builder does not provide writing, publishing, or memorial services beyond the interview itself. Its sole purpose is to offer families a simple way to capture life details and reflections while those memories are still accessible.
Executorium provides Legacy Builder as a bridge between the practical responsibilities of estate administration and the often-overlooked opportunity to preserve legacy moments that arise during that process.
After submission, Executorium deletes the data created through the form. Executorium does not retain any of the data or information submitted through Legacy Builder.
