Family Legacy Letter (Ethical Will)
Values, lessons, and story for the next generation
A legacy letter (ethical will) is a short letter to future generations about what you value, what you learned, what you hope they inherit that isn't money. This sheet is the scaffolding.
What I want them to know about who I am
Values I hope to pass down
Lessons I learned the hard way
What I hope they'll forgive me for
What I want them to know about our family's story
Short beats perfect
A one-page legacy letter that exists matters more than the ten-page one you keep meaning to write.
