What is a Legacy Letter or Ethical Will?

Ethical wills are a way to share your love with family and close friends. Think of an ethical will as a heartfelt letter or legacy letter describing what truly matters most in your life.

It doesn't have to be anything fancy--just a letter from the heart that expresses your thoughts.

She was a little girl, a teenage basketball player, a college student, a teacher, a mother, and then a grandmother.
