Do you know what happens if you die without a will in Pennsylvania? Many people delay creating a will because they don’t think they need one yet (they’re “too young”), their family “knows what they want” to happen with their assets, they believe they don’t own enough assets to even have an estate plan, or because they just keep putting it on the back burner, thinking they will eventually get to it.
