have no estate plan.
Sounds crazy, but it’s true. Despite more than 50% of Americans thinking that estate planning is at least somewhat important, only 33% have a will or living trust. When asked why they don’t have a will, 1 out of 3 respondents believe they don’t have enough assets to leave behind.
