Whether couples without children need a will with multiple properties

MarketWatch discusses whether adults in their 50s who have no children still need a will, focusing on estate planning considerations for families with substantial retirement savings and multiple homes.

The article says the couple has about $2 million held across IRAs and 401(k)s, reports having no debt, and notes they own a primary residence, a vacation home, and their mother’s home in another state.

It frames the decision around how property ownership and dependents, or the lack of them, can affect estate planning needs for the transfer of assets after death.
