| 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
- Life's lessons
- Love
- Forgiving others and asking for
forgiveness
