The below article recently published in the New York Times shares a startling statistic: 57% adults in the United States do not have a will. This means that their estates will be settled pursuant to the laws of their state related to intestacy, the situation where a person dies without a will. The issues the author raises regarding the uncertainty that exists when a person dies without leaving behind a plan or even a list of passwords are very real.
