Scenario

When legal obligations conflict with personal values

I am executor of my aunt's estate and discovered she left everything to a charity that I find morally reprehensible, but I have a legal duty to honor her wishes even though it feels like betraying my own values.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The role of carrying out another's will can create moral conflict when duty requires action that violates our own conscience.
