Description: I have been sharing information about ethical wills and giving out Ethical Will Resource Kits to estate planning clients since October of 1999.  Several clients have been more excited (if one can ever use that term in relation to estate planning) about the ethical will concept than about their legal wills or trusts.  This is truly a gift one can give to themselves and to their family.

a values statement.  "One of the most cherished things a parent can pass on to their children  and grandchildren is their
unique outlook on the world, their life  lessons and values. We can work with your parent to write a values  statement,
also known as an ethical will. This is not a legal document,  but a statement of what your parent thinks is important and 
the  values they want to live on and inspire you and your children.  Your parent can then read that document  on camera."
