FOOTSTEPS.TV OFFERS UNIQUE WAY TO LEAVE MESSAGES TO LOVED ONES UPON DEATH…. BEYOND JUST THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT

Though many people do prepare a Last Will and Testament to share their final wishes and requirements, they often wish they could say or do more at the personal level to comfort their loved ones. Footsteps.tv is providing a free service that enables any individual to do just that - to leave a trail behind to their loved ones with messages of comfort, inspiration, or instruction.

The company's founders, Fernando and Alejandro Gomez Pimienta, feel the service will fill a wide gap in bereavement care and services.

Gomez Pimienta states, "In a Last Will and Testament, there are only so many things a person can write, and their wishes and statements are usually read aloud to a group of family members, not to individuals. Footsteps.tv goes a step further to enable a person to leave personal messages to each individual family member or friend, and with total privacy in mind. They can even program messages to be delivered at specific dates after the account is activated."

Individuals who wish to use the service may do so easily online. The free account comes with 100 mb of storage space and will be active for 99 years.

"We tried very hard to design a simple, safe, powerful, and yet flexible system. After creating an account, the user may name Beneficiaries and create messages for them. These messages can include any kind of computer files," says Gomez Pimienta.

The account is activated by what’s called “Virtual Angels.” They close the loop and make the system work. Virtual Angels are two or three of the user's closest friends, co-workers, or family members that would know right away if something happens to that person. They get an encrypted code and instructions on how to use it.

The primary reason for an account to be activated is death, but that's not the only reason. In truth, the system allows an individual to prepare for anything. It's up to the user and the Virtual Angels to decide what constitutes as grounds for account activation. It could be an accident, coma, sickness, missing, etc.

Footsteps.tv is intended for people of any age, environment, and lifestyle. "We usually don't like to think about something happening to us, but it's life, and things do and will happen. Our system allows anyone to be ready in safe and new ways, from keeping important information safe to helping loved ones with closure in the time when they will need it the most," says Gomez Pimienta.

The system is also very easy and user-friendly. There is a very detailed help section and a Frequently Asked Questions document. To protect personal files and information, Footsteps.tv has taken several steps to ensure security and privacy for each individual user.

"To give every user complete security for their personal messages and information, we've encrypted the entire Web site using SSL technology. Individual files and messages are also encrypted as soon as they are uploaded, and no one but the user has access to them. Trust and privacy are two very important issues to us. That's why our company and the Footsteps.tv Web site have undergone intense analysis to obtain the Network Solutions SAFESITE Certificate and seal," says Gomez Pimienta.

With the Internet becoming so pertinent in society today, services like these will help lighten the burden of preparing for death with easy-to-use systems that can be utilized from one's own home computer.
