Writing a Legacy Letter

A legacy letter (also called an ethical will) is a written document that allows people to share their life lessons, express their values, and transmit their blessings to future generations. A legacy letter is shorter than a memoir, typically only a few pages. Writing one is a rewarding experience that creates an enduring gift for family, friends, and loved ones. This workshop includes discussion and brief writing exercises to help you examine your life history, explore your values, and capture important insights. It offers advice, encouragement, and a model structure to help you draft and complete your own legacy letter.
