Did you know that only 34% of Americans have an estate plan? According to the American Bar Association, more than half (55%) die without a will. That can be especially devastating for singles.
Estate planning is often associated with married couples or retirees, but it can be even more important for unmarried women. Whether you’re single, divorced, widowed, or in a long-term relationship without marriage, the law may not automatically recognize the people you want making financial or medical decisions for you. Without the right legal documents, assets can be distributed according to state law rather than your personal wishes, creating unnecessary stress for loved ones.
