Form: Ethical Wills

An Ethical Will is a statement of values you want to pass along to those you leave behind. It is not a replacement for a Last Will & Testament, which distributes your property. However, money isn’t necessarily the most important thing you leave behind when you depart this world. You can use this form (or any of the others on the internet or at bookstores as a template for telling your loved ones what’s most important to you. If you don’t want to complete a form, then turn on a recorder and tell them in your own words. Anyone with a smartphone probably has a recording app so there’s no excuse for letting things go unsaid.
