4 min read — could save your family years of heartache
You’ve done everything right.
You have a will. A trust. Powers of attorney.
You’ve covered the legal essentials.
But if you’re missing this one piece, your estate plan could still fall short — emotionally, practically, and personally.
It’s called a Letter of Intent (LOI). And in 2025, it’s not just a “nice-to-have.”
It’s essential.
What Is a Letter of Intent — and Why Should You Care?
A Letter of Intent isn’t a legal document. It’s something even more powerful:
It’s your voice.
An LOI is a personal document where you explain, in your own words, the why behind your decisions.
It gives your family and your trustees clarity — not just about what you want, but why you want it.
It’s the difference between a technical set of instructions and a human roadmap.
It’s how you make sure your family feels supported, not blindsided.
If you haven’t built this into your estate plan yet, this is the sign you’ve been waiting for.

What a Letter of Intent Actually Does for Your Family
Think about it. Your will might say, “Split assets equally.”
But it doesn’t explain why you made that choice.
It doesn’t share the love, the hope, or the legacy behind it.
An LOI does.
It’s where you can say:
“I left the vacation home to Ellie because it’s where she found her love of painting.”
“I gave my tools to Mike because of the hours we spent building that treehouse together.”
You also get to spell out specific instructions:
Who gets personal belongings that aren’t itemized
Special care instructions for a child, a parent, or even a pet
Trusted advisors and contacts for handling complex assets
And if you want to go even deeper — digital passwords, account access, hidden details that only you know — you can include it all here, too.

Why 2025 Families Need This More Than Ever
Families today are more complicated.
There are blended families, multiple properties, business interests, generational wealth planning — and emotions that can escalate fast if things aren’t crystal clear.
Without a Letter of Intent, you’re leaving it to chance.
With one, you’re giving your family something that lawyers can’t draft:
Understanding. Grace. Connection.
And at a time when they’ll need it most.
Keeping It Current (Because Life Moves Fast)
Your LOI shouldn’t gather dust.
Every marriage, divorce, birth, or major life change should trigger a quick update.
Think of it like this:
Your will is the foundation.
Your LOI is the conversation that keeps evolving with you.
