Survey Reveals Most Americans Are Unprepared—Are You One of Them?
Estate planning isn’t just about money. It’s about protection, peace of mind, and making sure the people you love aren’t left in chaos.
Every year, a new wave of people say the same thing:
“I know I should have an estate plan.”
And then… nothing happens.
According to the 2025 Wills and Estate Planning Study by Caring.com, the majority of Americans still don’t have a plan in place—not even a basic will.
That’s not just a statistic. It’s a wake-up call. And if you’re one of the millions of people who are waiting for “the right time,” that time is now.

Only 24% of Adults Have a Will
That means 76% of people have no legal plan—no say in what happens to their home, their savings, their children, or their legacy.
Even among people over 55, less than half have a will. And for younger adults, the numbers are even more alarming. Too many assume they’re too young or don’t own “enough” to justify planning.
But here’s the truth:
Estate planning is not about how much you have. It’s about who you love.
And whether you want the state deciding what happens—or you.
Don’t leave your family vulnerable to court battles or chaos.
We’ll walk you through exactly what you need to protect your home, your kids, and your health decisions on Tuesday, June 10 at 10AM.

Why People Wait—and Why You Shouldn’t
The study found that most people delay planning for one of three reasons:
They think they don’t have enough assets
They feel too young
They’re overwhelmed and don’t know where to start
But here’s the problem:
Life doesn’t wait. Accidents don’t wait. Illness doesn’t wait.
Without a plan, you’re leaving decisions about your finances, medical care, property—and even your children—up to the courts.
The Right Time to Plan Is Before a Crisis
Most people finally create an estate plan after a major life event:
Getting married
Having a child
Losing a parent
But waiting until something forces your hand? That’s a gamble.
A car accident. A sudden diagnosis. A missed window of opportunity.
These moments are unpredictable. But planning ahead isn’t.
Creating your will, power of attorney, and healthcare directive gives your family clarity and control—when they need it most.
Be proactive, not reactive. Join us Tuesday, June 10 in Inglewood.

Why a Trust Might Be Smarter Than Just a Will
Yes, wills are important. But if you want your loved ones to skip the long, expensive, public process of probate—a revocable living trust is the better tool.
With a trust, your family avoids:
Court delays
Public exposure
Legal fees and disputes
You can also:
Appoint someone to manage money for your children
Specify how funds should be used (education, health, etc.)
Protect assets from divorce, creditors, or bad financial decisions
Planning for Incapacity Is Just as Critical
The study also revealed that most Americans haven’t named anyone to make financial or medical decisions if they become incapacitated.
Let’s be clear:
If you don’t have a durable power of attorney and a healthcare proxy, your family may have to go to court just to access your accounts or speak for you during a health emergency.
That’s not just expensive—it’s emotionally devastating.
This is your chance to get ahead of the chaos.
Join us Tuesday, June 10 at 10AM for a no-pressure, expert-led seminar that covers wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and real-life planning.

Final Thought: Procrastination Leaves Your Family Unprotected
If there’s one lesson from the Caring.com study, it’s this:
Understanding the importance of estate planning is not enough. You have to take action.
Because without a plan:
The state decides who gets what
Your loved ones may face court battles
Your children’s futures are left to strangers
And the people you love may be stuck grieving and guessing
Tuesday, June 10 is your moment to change that.
Wills. Trusts. Medical protection. Financial authority.
The tools to protect your family, all in one morning.
