The Wealth of Your Life; A Step-by-Step Guide for Creating Your Ethical Will [Spiral-bound]

Susan B. Turnbull (Author, Editor, Illustrator)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 2007

This is a visually beautiful, easy to use guidebook-workbook to creating a personal legacy letter, or Ethical Will, which is a document (or recording) that transmits non-material wealth to loved ones. Elegantly laid out, with plenty of room for making notes, the guide makes manageable what everyone wants to do someday - to reflect on and make a record of the feelings, thoughts, information and messages too important to risk going unsaid or being lost over time. Numerous descriptions, prompts and examples inspire and help lead the way to completion. Financial and legal advisors will find the book an especially effective and attractive introduction to the concept of an Ethical Will as a meaningful, non-legal complement to an estate plan.

Editorial Reviews

Review

More and more attorneys and other advisors have been talking in recent years about 'ethical' wills, written or recorded documents that permit parents and grandparents to pass on their life stories and learning to their descendants. Susan Turnbull has created a very attractive and usable guidebook to assist the creation of such personal legacies. --Elder Law attorney Harry Margolis, Recommended Reading, Wall Street Journal, January 23, 2006

This is a visually stunning book with immense heart. It manages to be both inspirational and practical at the same time. Susan Turnbull has succeeded in crafting the perfect guide to one of the most loving acts we can do for our family-creating an ethical will. I recommend it highly to the families I work with. --Dr. James Grubman, pyschologist and family wealth consultant, FamilyWealthConsulting, Turners Falls, MA

In the past, we have used several resources to help our clients with creating ethical wills. Susan's book is head and shoulders above all of them. She presents the concept so clearly and beautifully that I am proud to give her book to my clients. We now have an effective tool to manage this very important aspect of estate planning. --Robert Cole, President Financial Architects, Louisville, KY
