I'm 27 and I've already written my will - here's why

I'm 27 and I've already written my will - here's why A recent survey shows that many young adults still view estate planning as unnecessary, particularly when they believe they have little to leave behind. The 2025 National Wills Report found that just one in five individuals aged 18 to 24 has a will in place. That figure climbs to 33 % among 22‑ to 34‑year‑olds, compared with 56 % of those over 55. Sophia Maslin, founder of the online will‑making service Morby, says a common misunderstanding is that substantial assets are required before drafting a will. "People judge they don't ain enough. But actually, if you've got immoderate benignant of savings, investments, pensions, your societal media accounts, if you've got pets, adjacent ceremonial wishes, these are each things to deliberation about," she says. For Erin, the idea of creating a will emerged after a friend purchased a home. She then began noticing Maslin’s discussions about wills on TikTok, where the founder recounted the story of her cousin who died young without a will and the complications that followed for the family.
