WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT "WILL AWARENESS" IN 2025

If you're among the people who are on the fence about a will, the best way to make smart decisions for your situation is to be armed with the facts.

If you've got a family, a home and any kind of financial account, having a will in place may be beneficial to you and your heirs. When done properly, a will can help individuals resolve everything from designating a guardian for children, to passing on a family-owned small business, and mitigating any intra-family conflicts.

Did you know?

• 64% of Americans say having a will is important, fewer than 32% have one.
• Only 43% of those age 55 or older have a will or living trust.
• 43% of U.S. adults blame procrastination as the most common barrier to estate planning.
