Question

How does not having children affect estate planning?

Answer

Estate planning for DINK couples could be essential. Without children as default heirs, assets may pass according to state intestacy laws rather than your wishes. Key steps include updating beneficiary designations, drafting a will or trust, or both, and establishing healthcare directives and powers of attorney.
