Ensure they inherit your wisdom, not just your wealth.
Ethical Wills Consultant in Ojai, California
What is an ethical will?
An ethical will is an audio recording and/or written record of your wisdom, values, and stories, to accompany the inheritance of your financial wealth. It imbues your last will and testament with the essentials of your humanity, ensuring your hard-earned wisdom will guide subsequent generations.
Others may call this document a psychological legacy portfolio, legacy letter, spiritual will, or statement of values.
What to expect
Creating an ethical will is like having the conversation of a lifetime with your closest friend. It explores your personal story, but is not therapy. It involves answering gentle and skilled questions that surface your stories and values—but with you always controlling the conversation.
In essence, you know the message you wish to share. However, for the richest articulation, you need a companion, someone who thinks like both a psychologist and journalist, someone to help you give words to experiences that have been yours alone.
