Despite the pandemic, two thirds of U.S. adults still do not have a will. It’s an appropriate time to cite such statistics because August is National Make-A-Will Month. In 2021, Caring.com and YouGov partnered to survey Americans about estate planning. The survey results reported that “more people are saying they ‘don’t know how to get one’ when asked why they do not have a will.”

BB&N makes creating a will a little easier by offering FreeWill, a free, online resource to guide you through the process of creating a legally valid will in 20 minutes or less. If you have already included a gift to BB&N in your will or trust, please fill out this form so we can thank you for your generosity and welcome you to The Almy Society, BB&N’s planned giving society.
