This week is National Estate Planning Awareness Week, and at OCA-Asian Pacific American Advocates, we remain dedicated to advancing the social, political, and economic well-being of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders. As we fight for racial justice and equal opportunity, it's also crucial that community members like you take steps to protect your loved ones and secure a lasting legacy of impact.
Here are some important numbers from a recent study highlighting why estate planning is so crucial:
- 64% of Americans say having a will is important — but 68% don’t have a will.
- Estate planning has been on the rise for younger adults but is on the decline for adults 55+.
- 40% of people without a will say they don’t think they have enough assets to need one.
- The number of Americans with a will declined for the first time since 2020.
This week serves as a powerful reminder that everyone—regardless of age or wealth—deserves the peace of mind that comes with planning ahead. Just as we work to empower the next generation of leaders in the spirit of radical justice, it's equally important for you to empower your loved ones and cherished causes by completing this essential task.Â
In gratitude for your dedication, we’re offering a free will-writing tool through our partner, FreeWill. This tool helps you create or update your will in just 20 minutes at no cost. Over one million people have already used it to safeguard their future and align their legacy with their values, and you can be next.
