Description:

An ancient tradition for passing on personal values, beliefs, blessings, and advice to family, friends, and future generations, an ethical will can mean more than any material possession you might bequeath to them. A living will is also important: It ensures that relatives and doctors understand your medical treatment choices and preferences. Fully revised and updated to offer practical and inspirational advice on creating both of these powerful documents, Ethical Wills is your guide to ensuring that what you hold most dear is "on the record," not to be lost or forgotten.
