An Ethical Will is a gift you leave your loved ones. It’s a way you can express your experiences, values, and other important themes and life lessons you want to pass down. Unlike traditional Wills, there’s no money or property passed on through Ethical Wills. Instead, what you’re sharing is your wisdom and advice with loved ones. 

In many ways, this kind of advice-giving can offer far more than anything of monetary value. Generally, an Ethical Will – also sometimes referred to as a legacy letter – focuses on a personal link from one family generation to the next. 

You can use an Ethical Will to pass on history, thoughts, life lessons, blessings, apologies, hopes, wishes, memories, and more.
