The short answer
A legacy letter says what a will can't: what you want remembered, explained, or said to specific people. No legal force, no format, no rules. Write one letter per person or one for everyone, keep the drafts with your plan, and revise them when life changes. The prompts on this page get you past the blank page.

About this tool
What Legacy Letters helps you do
Write the letters that outlive you: what you learned, what you hope for the people you love, in your own words. A will can direct some property, subject to beneficiary designations, ownership, trusts, and state law. A legacy letter serves a different purpose: what you want remembered, explained, or said to someone you care about. Keep the drafts with your plan and revise them when your life changes.
