A shocking statistical look at estate planning [infographic]

Here's a new graphic I created demonstrating the current state of estate planning in the U.S. Not surprisingly, a majority of American adults don't have a simple will, but some of the reasons might surprise you. So, if you don't have a will, know that you aren't alone. Also know that getting a will is not a complicated, time-consuming process, and by working with a virtual attorney costs can be reasonable on nearly any budget. One thing that's for sure is that the cost of a will pales in comparison to some potential costs your loved ones may be responsible for if you don't have an estate plan in place when you die.
