Human Inheritance, Curated With Intention

Life’s stories live here

Legacy is more than wealth. LegacyNex is a Canadian human inheritance company that helps people preserve voice, values, and lived perspective through guided written and audio storytelling — beyond what a will can hold.

The Globe and Mail • Canadian Family Offices • CBC • SiriusXM • Moolala

A guided, private process for capturing the wisdom, perspective, and lived meaning that shape a life - and give direction to what comes next.

Financial capital creates opportunity. Human inheritance determines how that opportunity is lived.

Stories, wisdom, and reflections - passed forward with care.

Our Collections

We help people articulate lived experience with clarity and care. Through guided, one-to-one conversations, we create professionally crafted written, audio, and video collections that families can return to - not as archives, but as sources of grounding, orientation, and guidance.

  • For those who want to preserve perspective, life lessons, and personal history in a way that is meaningful, usable, and enduring.

    This work supports:

    • Clarity across generations

    • Alignment around values and intent

    • A deeper sense of continuity and understanding

    Explore options - written, audio, video

  • Companion Stories explores the reciprocal meaning of our relationships with animals.

    These relationships shape how we live - teaching patience, responsibility, presence, and care through daily experience. Companion Stories helps articulate that influence with intention, creating a private collection people can return to over time.

    Not as memory.
    As guidance.

  • We partner with wealth managers, estate lawyers, and family-office professionals to integrate human inheritance into financial and estate planning.

    LegacyNex supports advisors by ensuring clients don’t just transfer assets - but preserve the understanding, values, and context that give those assets direction.

    A natural extension of holistic advice.
    A deeper, more complete client experience.

Our Standards

Privacy & Trust

This work is private by design. Every LegacyNex project is handled with care, discretion, and respect for personal boundaries.

We operate under formal confidentiality agreements and offer NDAs where appropriate. Conversations are guided, recorded, and stored securely, and clients remain in full control over what is shared, preserved, and ultimately passed forward.

Nothing is published, distributed, or shared without explicit consent. This is a trusted, one-to-one process - designed to protect dignity, privacy, and peace of mind at every step.

“We all have something valuable and positive to leave to the ones who matter most in our lives – even if what we leave isn’t money.”

- Thomas William Deans

About LegacyNex

Our Founder:
Elena Iacono

“I created LegacyNex because the most powerful form of human inheritance is the wisdom and perspective we gather along the way. My promise, to my late father, and to everyone I work with, is to help turn stories into guideposts for the people we love.”

- Elena Iacono

Why LegacyNex?

Every LegacyNex project begins with a guided, one-to-one conversation.

No scripts. No performance. Just thoughtful listening.

Stories are curated into written and audio collections designed to offer guidance over time.

Most people want to pass forward more than documents or financial assets. They want to preserve meaning - the values, lessons, and lived understanding that shaped them.

This is not a template. It’s a relationship.

LegacyNex is a Canadian legacy storytelling company and human-first practice that helps individuals and families preserve non-financial inheritance, including stories, values, and life lessons, through guided conversations curated into written and audio collections.

LegacyNex is based in Oakville, Ontario, and serves clients across Canada and internationally.
