Real experience, explained clearly

Sue Berry is a British expat living in the Canary Islands. She created Expat Legacy Secrets to help English-speaking people understand the practical realities of moving to, living in and planning for the future in Spain.

After more than 25 years building businesses, working with technology and helping people solve everyday problems, Sue wanted to make useful expat information calmer, clearer and easier to act on.

Why Sue created Expat Legacy Secrets

Personal experience showed Sue how difficult life can become when important information is missing, nobody knows where documents are kept and precious memories disappear with the person who held them.

She also realised that the people closest to us may not know where to begin if illness, an emergency or an unexpected change leaves us unable to manage everyday arrangements ourselves. That insight inspired her work as The Legacy Footprint Lady.

Legacy isn’t just paperwork. It’s clarity, kindness and making life easier for the people you love.

How Sue prepares the guidance

  • She starts with the real questions expats and their families ask.
  • Important factual claims are checked against suitable official or professional sources.
  • Guidance is written in calm, straightforward English without unnecessary alarm.
  • Personal experience is kept separate from legal, tax, financial, immigration and healthcare advice.
