The Great Wealth Transfer: Preparing the Next Generation

July 28, 2026 · 5 min read

Trillions of dollars are expected to pass between generations. Preparing heirs matters as much as preparing documents.

An enormous amount of wealth is expected to move from one generation to the next in the coming decades. Families that prepare their heirs tend to keep what they build.

Talk early

Family conversations about values, responsibility and intentions make the transfer smoother and reduce conflict later.

Teach stewardship

Bringing the next generation into planning meetings builds financial confidence long before they inherit.

Structure with purpose

Trusts and gifting strategies can pass wealth with guidance attached, so it supports the life you hope your family will lead.
