So, other than accidentally asking a woman with a 4-month-old if she was expecting again, we had a successul Baby Expo.

More than anything, one thing stood out: The sheer number of people with kids without any kind of estate plan. Our booth was right across from Mother’s Milk, which was always jammed, and right on top of an expansionjoint that every stroller got stuck on.

So I had a lot of time to talk to husbands.

The conversations went like this:

Me: So, how’s your will? Do you have a will?

Them: Um, no.

The latest statistic has something like 55 percent of Americans without a will. It’s understandable. It’s a depressing thing to think about. Death. The end of family time. All that. And it’s a pain to do a will. I spoke to a couple from Wisconsin who had sent a packet of information over to their attorney a year ago. But they couldn’t decide on a guardian, and that’s when everything broke down.

But if you have a family, you need a will. As awful as it is to think about, you and your spouse could both die at the same time. If there’s no will, then the kids’ future is at the mercy of the state’s judgment.

And if they can’t fix roads, how can you be sure your child or children don’t end up somewhere very bad?

Get wills, people.
