Legacy Letter
To give language to the family legacy.
What it is for
To give language to the family legacy. Not a legal instrument — a document of the heart, so your children don't only inherit assets, but direction.
How to practice
- My story with God — what God has done in your life.
- What I learned from my mistakes — which mistakes you don't want them to repeat.
- The values I don't want lost — which values are non-negotiable.
- How I want this family to handle faith, money, work, and relationships.
- My blessing over you — a closing blessing.
- Don't wait until you're old to write it. Legacy should be read while you're alive.
- Update it once a year.
