What are Legacy Letters/Ethical Wills?

This no-charge 1-hour session tells you more about legacy letters, often called ethical wills. While they are not legal documents, many seniors are adding them with their wills and estates.

Legacy letters deliver wisdom, life values, core principles and love so families can reread them for decades—easing grief and strengthening bonds.

Thousands of seniors regret not writing these short letters sooner.
