Why Do So Many People Avoid Making an Estate Plan?
Most people know they should have an estate plan or at least a last will and testament, but they still put it off. Some think these documents are only for wealthy people while others assume they are too young to worry about it. Many simply do not know where to start. Caring.com used a survey to estimate that fewer than 25 percent of Americans have a will, let alone an estate plan.
