Many U.S. adults fail to prepare for inevitable death with proper documentation like asset and living wills, causing challenges for families during difficult decisions. Current statistics reveal that less than half of adults hold asset wills, while a mere 45 percent have living wills. These documents help clarify end-of-life care preferences and asset distribution. Although there is a high interest in organ donation among the population, actual participation rates remain low, highlighting a gap between intention and action in end-of-life planning.
Less than half of U.S. adults have an asset will, while living wills are even rarer at 45 percent, creating unnecessary uncertainty for families.
A living will directs end-of-life decisions: what kind of care you want, palliative care wishes, and anatomical gift decisions.
Wills, both asset and living, are designed to articulate your wishes and concerns for your loved ones, ensuring clarity when you cannot speak for yourself.
While 90 percent of U.S. adults favor organ donations, less than 60 percent take the steps to officially sign up for this.
