PART ONE — LETTER OF WISHES
[Full name]
[Testator's address]
[Date of the letter of wishes]
To: [Name of first executor / trustee] and [Name of second executor / trustee], the Executors and Trustees named in my Will dated [Date of the Will].
This letter is not my will and is not a codicil to my will. It creates no legal obligation and confers no right on any person. It is not signed before witnesses and is not intended to be. If anything in this letter conflicts with my Will, my Will prevails and must be followed. I write it so that you know my thinking, and so that my family reads my reasons in my own words.
