| An ethical will reflects
the "voice of the heart." Think of it as a love letter to your family.
Every ethical will is as unique as the person writing it.
After reading a number
of ethical wills, there are common themes that run through many of them.
Older ethical wills contained burial instructions, blessings, and personal
and spiritual values.
Here's a partial list
of common themes seen in more modern ethical wills:
-
Important personal values
and beliefs

Important spiritual values
-
Hopes and blessings for
future generations
