With 10,000 baby boomers, the wealthiest generation in history, turning 65 every day and only 44 percent of Americans having a will, Wayne Ball sees a crisis ahead. His mission is to use 43 years of legal experience educating Arkansans about unforeseen costs, avoidable risks and disastrous pitfalls that are likely to occur without proper planning.
