Publsihed in 2007, Harris Interactive® for Martindale-Hubbell® conducted a research study finding that for the last three years, 55% of all adult Americans do not have a will. Only one in three African American adults (32 percent) and one in four Hispanic American adults (26 percent) have wills, compared to more than half (52 percent) of white American adults.

In many states if you do not have a will, the state may decide who gets your children and possessions.

The legal shield Will allow you to have your will prepared at no cost to you.
