How Not to Be a Statistic When It Comes to Generational Wealth
The transfer of wealth from one generation to the next is an obstacle all high-net-worth families face during the estate planning process. Over the next 25 years, the United States will experience the most significant wealth transfer in history, with around $68 trillion passed to the next generation. Given the scale of this coming wealth transfer, the need for preparation is greater than ever. The need for proper communication about potential strategies to ensure these transfers go smoothly for families is even more significant.
Parents frequently express to us both qualitative (who and when) and quantitative (how much) concerns regarding passing their wealth to the next generation. Research from the Williams Group wealth consultancy backs up those parental concerns. Seventy percent of families lose their wealth by the second generation and ninety percent by the third. To avoid falling victim to this statistic, parents must be both proactive and intentional when it comes to transferring their wealth.
