The Beneficiary Box™ -- Color-coded sections, instruction sheets, and everything your family needs in one locked heirloom case

Multiple generations of a family sharing a meaningful moment together

Generations come together. The gift of preparation lasts longer than any of us will.

I Watched My Mom Struggle.
I Never Wanted Anyone to Go Through That Again.

A note from Ian Schaeffer, COO of American Retirement Advisors:

When my grandfather passed, my mother didn't just lose her father. She lost months of her life trying to piece together his affairs. Accounts she had never heard of. Passwords written on scraps of paper. A safe with a combination nobody remembered.

While she was grieving, she was also detective. While she was mourning, she was also digging through drawers.

Nobody should have to go through that. But most families do.

So we built this. A promise that your family will not go through what my mother went through. A promise that when your time comes, the people who love you will find peace, not chaos.

You didn't procrastinate. You've been waiting for the right structure.

You don't need more information. You can find information anywhere.

You need someone walking beside you until it is done.

That's what this is. Not another app. Not another binder. Not another advisor telling you what to do and then leaving you alone to figure it out. This is a real person, beside you, step by step, session by session, until your family is protected.

Eight Months of Chaos

When Robert passed unexpectedly, his wife Linda spent eight months calling banks, searching for account numbers, and fighting with insurance companies. Their children flew in from three states to help sort through boxes of papers.

"We didn't even know where his will was. He always said he'd get to it."

Thirty Years of Peace

When Gene sat down with his wife Carol and their three children for their Family Meeting, everything was already organized. The accounts, the beneficiaries, the wishes, the passwords.

"It took us four sessions to get here. But it gave us thirty years of peace."

Hands passing a pocket watch — a symbol of the legacy we protect

Some things are meant to be passed down. The question is whether your family knows where to find them.

The difference between these two families wasn't wealth. It wasn't luck. It was one decision: to stop putting it off and get it done with someone in their corner.

You Don't Have to Figure This Out Alone.

"I've sat with families on both sides of this. The ones who prepared, and the ones who didn't. When a family has clarity, they can grieve without chaos. They can honor their loved one's wishes instead of guessing. That's what these sessions give you."

David Schaeffer has walked hundreds of families through this exact process. He knows where people get stuck. He knows what gets skipped. And he stays with you, session by session, until your plan is complete. That is his promise to you.

Three Steps to Complete Peace of Mind

01
Map

We start with everything: your accounts, your documents, your contacts, your healthcare information. Nothing gets missed. Nothing gets forgotten. We put it all in one place, organized by color-coded sections that anyone in your family can understand.

02
Protect

David reviews your beneficiary designations, identifies missing documents, and coordinates with your attorney if needed. Titles, deeds, powers of attorney, healthcare directives. The things that matter most when they matter most.

03
Preserve

In your final session, we sit down with your children or beneficiaries. We walk through everything together. Everyone knows the plan. Everyone knows where to find what they need. Everyone is on the same page.

These are the families who stopped waiting. They sat down, worked through it together, and walked away with one less thing to worry about.

Four Dollars and Thirty-Eight Cents a Day.
That's What Peace of Mind Costs.

$1,600. Let's talk about that number, because you're already thinking about it.

Divided by 365 days, that is $4.38 a day. Less than a cup of coffee. Less than the tip you left at dinner last week. And what does that $4.38 a day buy?

It buys the certainty that your family will not spend six months of their grief trying to figure out what you left behind. It buys four sessions with a coach who will not let this sit unfinished. It buys a physical box, organized and complete, that your family can open and understand the first time.

You've spent decades building something worth protecting. $1,600 is not the cost of this program. It is the final cost of protecting everything else.

You'll be the one who prepared everything.

Everything You're Wondering

Do I need to know about investments or finance?
Not at all. Your coach guides you through every step. If you can fill out a form, you can do this. Most clients tell us they wish they'd started sooner because it was so much easier than they expected.
Can my spouse and I do this together?
Absolutely. Most couples go through the program together. One box covers your whole household. In fact, couples often tell us the sessions become some of the most meaningful conversations they've had.
What if my children live out of state?
Session 4, the Family Meeting, works beautifully over Zoom. We've held family meetings with members across three different time zones. If someone can't make the live call, we can arrange a FaceTime connection.
How long does the program take?
About 3-4 months. Sessions are spaced 3-4 weeks apart so you have time to gather documents between meetings. There's no rush. Your coach works at your pace.
What if I already have a will or trust?
That's a great start. We organize everything else around it: the accounts, the contacts, the healthcare documents, the things your attorney doesn't cover. Your existing estate plan becomes one piece of a complete picture.
Is this only available in Arizona and Nevada?
Currently, yes. The Beneficiary Box is available for pick-up at our offices in Scottsdale, AZ and Las Vegas, NV. The coaching sessions can be conducted in person or via Zoom, so you can start the process from anywhere if you plan to visit.

Your Family Will Open That Drawer Someday.
The Question Is What They Find.

Relief or panic. Clarity or chaos. A box with everything organized, labeled, and ready. Or a pile of papers, closed accounts, and a combination nobody remembers.

You've had the intention. Now you have the structure. Four sessions. A coach who walks beside you. And a promise that when it's done, it's done.

Today is the day you stop meaning to and start doing.

Yes. I'm Ready to Get This Done.

You are about to give your family one of the most important gifts they will ever receive. They just don't know it yet.
