Write your legacy letter
A will passes on what you own. A legacy letter, sometimes called an ethical will, passes on who you are: your values, stories, lessons and hopes. Answer only the prompts that speak to you, then print it or save it with your will.
What you write is saved only in this browser, so you can come back to it. Clear it when you're done on a shared computer. A legacy letter isn't legally binding; put anything you want to be binding in your will.

Tips
- Write like you talk. It's a letter, not a speech. Short is fine.
- Be specific. One real story says more than a list of virtues.
- Keep it kind. Your words may be read many times. Settle old scores in person, not here.
- Store it with your will and tell your executor where it is. Some people share it while they're alive.
