Most Americans are without an estate plan-online help

Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear. I’m Fred Fishkin. Two out of every three Americans don’t have an estate plan. Few of us like to dwell on the topic….but…says LegalZoom Senior Director Ashley Robinson… “Think of a will as your personal rulebook for what happens after you’ve left the party. It’s a legal document that outlines how you want your treasures divvied up. That could be your bank account, your real estate, your favorite guitar, even beloved pets. But why is it so important to have one? Well, here’s what happens. Without an estate plan in place, the state’s default settings kick in. And then they get to determine who gets what. And as we know that could lead to a lot of family drama and definitely lost time and money.” Online tools, such as those from LegalZoom, can make it much easier, to get it done.
