I recently finished Bill Gates, Sr.&#8217;s book Showing Up for Life: Thoughts on the Gifts of a Lifetime. It&#8217;s not a particularly remarkable book among all the books one might read. But it struck me, as I read it: It [...]]]></description>

This, perhaps more than anything else, is what distinguishes legacy planning from estate planning: the content of what some call the &#8220;ethical will,&#8221; and others refer to as a person&#8217;s &#8220;testament&#8221; or &#8220;legacy letter&#8221; or what our second legacy [...]]]></description>
