If you have not done an estate plan (will or trust based estate plan), you are not alone.  A Lawyers.com survey concluded that more than half of adults do not have a will.
Now is the time to get moving and make estate planning a priority.  While it would be great if everyone knew the future, life has a tendency to throw curve balls.  Remember estate planning is not just planning for death, but also planning for incapacity and disability.
