  1. Notes: † p < 0.10, * p < 0.05, and ** p < 0.01; Dependent variable includes assets (ASSETS) and estate planning decision (EPD). Independent variables include meditation (MED), fitted value of assets (ASSETS_fit), income (INCOME), marital status (MS), age (AGE), family size (FAMILY), location (LOCATION), education (EDUCATION), and gender (GENDER)
  2. aThe lowest tolerance is 0.415 and the highest Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) is 2.412 indicating that multicollinearity is not a serious issue
