inheritance letter sample

Dear [Beneficiary],

I hope this letter finds you in good health and spirits. As you may know, I have been carefully considering my estate planning and the distribution of my assets after my passing. It is important to me that my wishes are carried out with clarity and fairness, and I believe that communicating with my beneficiaries directly is the best way to ensure that.

After much thought and consideration, I have decided to leave you [specific asset or amount of money] as part of my inheritance. I want to express my appreciation for the relationship we have had and the memories we have shared throughout the years. It is my hope that this inheritance will serve as a meaningful reminder of our connection and the love I have for you.

I want to be clear that this decision was made after careful consideration and reflection on my entire estate plan. I have made provisions for other beneficiaries and charitable organizations that are important to me. I believe that this distribution of my assets is the best way to ensure that my wishes are carried out and that my legacy will continue.

Please know that I am available to answer any questions you may have about my estate planning or the inheritance I am leaving you. I hope that this letter serves as a helpful guide in understanding my intentions and the thought process behind them.

Thank you for taking the time to read this letter, and for being an important part of my life. I wish you all the best in the years to come.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]
