Your will is the legal document that sets out who inherits and who is responsible for administering your estate. A letter of wishes is different: it gives private guidance and context.
As a rule of thumb, binding gifts and appointments belong in the will. Explanations, hopes, preferences, and family context can sit in the letter.
