Passing Down Your Wisdom & Values
The Ethical Will & Legacy Messaging Hub
An ethical will and legacy messaging provide a way to share your values, life lessons, and personal reflections with loved ones. Unlike legal wills, which distribute assets, an ethical will preserves your emotional and spiritual legacy. Whether through letters, videos, or written reflections, this documentation ensures that your beliefs, experiences, and hopes for future generations are passed down in a meaningful way.
Key Things To Know
Creating an ethical will or legacy message allows you to leave behind more than material wealth—your values and wisdom can shape future generations. Here’s what to consider.
- An ethical will is not legally binding: It is a personal document meant to communicate values, guidance, and memories rather than financial or legal instructions.
- Legacy messaging can take many forms: You can write letters, record videos, create audio messages, or leave behind meaningful writings for loved ones.
- Sharing personal experiences and values is impactful: Many people use ethical wills to provide advice, share family history, or express gratitude.
- These messages can be delivered after your passing: Some choose to have messages shared at specific life events, such as weddings, graduations, or milestone birthdays.
- Organizing these messages ensures they reach the right people: Documenting where and how your ethical will should be shared prevents it from being lost or overlooked.
