A MarketWatch advice column addresses a question from a couple in their 50s with no children and $2 million in IRAs and 401(k)s about whether they need a will, according to the outlet.

The couple reportedly has no debt and owns their primary home, a vacation home, and a home belonging to a parent in another state, per MarketWatch.

The column explores the couple's specific circumstances, though the outlet's full guidance was not detailed in the available excerpt.
