One of the most unique types of Wills you might come across is the Ethical Will.
Although this is not strictly a legal document, it can be one which is very important to families and often needs the support of solicitors in Porthmadog to complete correctly and to contextualise the information.
Often, an ethical Will contains details of the deceased’s feelings and thoughts about the world, rather than how they want their physical assets to be distributed. These Wills give someone the opportunity to set down in writing, their moral compasses, explain why they have made particular decisions, their passions and their internal core values, all of which may be invaluable insights into someone’s mind after they have gone.
Many people choose to share details of life events which have shaped them or their political viewpoints. They could detail specific events and the lessons they may have learnt from those happenings. Often, details like this can explain how someone has behaved or how they approached certain situations.
Individual friends or family members could be name checked in an ethical Will. People could request, for example, that their children continue in the family business or in their educational goals. People may also choose to detail their decision-making process for their formal Will, and explain why they have left certain items to certain individuals.
