Do More Than Just a Trust -- Write a Family Love Letter.

An article posted in February in Seattle Post-Intelligencer newspaper caught my eye that I book-marked it a long time ago.

It's about writing a Family Love Letter to your family about various things affecting your estate, your affairs and other things you wish to leave behind in the form of notes, memories, computer passwords (an important thing actually) when you pass away.

Note that preparing a Family Love Letter is not legally binding, like a will or trust. 

"It is designed to help survivors work through someone's death."
