Your Ethical Will eBook Review

When you are an adult you have responsibilities to the people that you leave behind. These responsibilities include the business side of passing away, namely writing a will and/or establishing trust accounts, and they also include the personal side of passing way, taking care of the emotional and spiritual needs of your loved ones. One tool that you can utilize to meet this personal responsibilities of passing on your ethical and spiritual viewpoints is the ethical will.

An ethical can be written at any time in your life, and it can be shared at any point. It is a living, fluid document. This is one of the great features of an ethical will. One eBook that has outlined the process of writing an ethical will is Your Ethical Will: How to Write Your Legacy in Your Own Words.

What Is an Ethical Will?

The first thing that Your Ethical Will covers is what an ethical will is, and more importantly, what it is not. Many people see the word “will” and assume it has something to do with passing on physical assets and dealing with the legal requirements of estates. This is not the case, as the author of this eBook pointed out. Instead it is a document that addresses the inheritance of knowledge, values, beliefs, lessons learned in life, ethical standards and moral traditions. This means, that an ethical will can be completed and shared at anypoint in your life.

How to Write an Ethical Will

The bulk of this eBook focuses on how to write an ethical will. It provides detailed, but easy to follow instructions on writing several types of ethical wills. For example, there is the ethical will letter and the ethical will narrative. You can quickly browse through the components of each to determine which format meets your needs the best.

Highlights

One of the components of this eBook that I liked the most is the section of brainstorming techniques. If you are not a writer, and even if you are, approaching the process of writing an ethical will may pose some challenges. The brainstorming techniques presented can help you to overcome these initial obstacles and help you get down to business.

Another component of this eBook that I liked was the template section. These templates allow you to quickly format your ethical will, no matter which type of ethical will you want to write. You can use these templates to play around with all the options before settling down on a single format.

Finally, this eBook can be the inspiration that you need to attempt an even more ambitious writing project, writing your memoirs. If you are interested in writing your memoires, then you can use your ethical will as a springboard.

Madeline Binder, author of this ebook, passionately states, "I love sharing about how to write an ethical will because it has nothing to do with material possessions, but about leaving behind the Wealth of Your Life, the best of who you are. It is a way of being true to yourself and to those you love." We invite you to share your journey and ask questions at the Spiritual Ethical Will Blog.
