The concept of an Ethical Will has been around since biblical times. It was a way for people to pass on their shared stories, wisdom, and blessings to the next generation. It is not a legal document like a last will and testament. Instead of laying out who will inherit the assets, it leaves a type of moral inheritance such as philosophies, memories, life lessons, and wishes for loved ones and future generations. It can be as simple as a letter written to one’s children and grandchildren, or it can be a longer personal history. Read on to learn more about what Ethical Wills are, why you should write one, and what to include in yours.
