A good estate plan is more than just a collection of documents. It is road map that results from a dialogue among family members and an understanding of your options regarding retirement planning, disability planning, planning for gifts during your life, charitable planning as well as the plan regarding the disposition of your assets upon death.
Various studies point out that almost 60% of Americans do not have a will and almost 70% do not have a medical health care directive or living well. In fact, a recent CNBC blog cited a study finding that 9 out of 10 people between the ages of 44 and 64 did not have even a basic will.
If you do not have a valid will, you will be deemed to have died "intestate" and each state in the US has intestacy laws that govern the distribution of your property upon your death should you die in that state.Therefore, if you die without a will, the state in which you live, following its intestacy laws, will write one for you.
