Fewer than half (46 percent) of adults in the United States have a will, according to a recent Gallup survey. Here's the question asked by Gallup: "Do you have a will that describes how you would like your money and estate to be handled after your death?"
Not surprisingly, the percentage of Americans who have a will is highest among those with household incomes of $100,000 or more (61 percent). It is also well above average among college graduates (57 percent). It is much higher among older than younger adults...
Percent who have a will
Aged 18 to 29: 20%
Aged 30 to 49: 36%
Aged 50 to 64: 53%
Aged 65-plus: 76%
