Why Write an Ethical Will?

 

There are many personal reasons for writing an ethical will. Here are some of them:
  • We all want to be remembered, and we all will leave something behind 
  • If we don’t tell our stories and the stories from whom we come, no one else will and they will be lost forever
  • It helps you identify what you value most and what you stand for
  • By articulating what we value now, we can take steps to insure the continuation of those values for future generations
  • You learn a lot about yourself in the process of writing an ethical will
  • It helps us come to terms with our mortality by creating something of meaning that will live on after we are gone
  •  It provides a sense of completion in our lives
