Unlike an ordinary will or last testament, an ethical will has less to do with material possessions and more to do with nonmaterial gifts - the values and life lessons that you wish to leave to others. Writing an ethical will can be particularly beneficial for those of us concerned with making sense of our lives and of our aging. Think of it as a love letter to your family, friends and your community at large. It's a great way to share your hopes and dreams, as well as what life has taught you, with loved ones. Regardless of your age, an ethical will can be an exercise that makes you take stock of your life experiences and distill from it the values and wisdom that you have gained.
