A lot of people have asked me when is the best time to write your spiritual ethical will. My answer is that there is no time like the present. However, there are big events in your life that provide you extra inspiration for the writing process. These events include marriages, divorces and the birth of your children or grandchildren.
Most people examine their lives before they get married. If you find yourself in quiet retrospection of your life before your wedding then take out a piece of paper and write down what you have learned about relationships, love and life. This is a great place to start when writing an ethical will.
While nearly everyone knows what a will is, few people take the time to write one until they have children. If you are about to have a child, or if you are about to become a grandparent, then sit down and write your ethical will while you are thinking about how to distribute the wealth of your life in your last will and testament. After all, your kids and grandkids will benefit from your wisdom and experiences as much as they will from the monetary assets you leave behind.
While divorce is not the best time in your life, it is actually a great time to think about your life and the lessons that you have learned. As a result it is also a good time to write your ethical will or to update your ethical will. For more information about writing wills, I recommend visiting the My Will blog.
