Generational Wealth Planning

Are You Prepared for the Great Wealth Transfer?

There is a tremendous amount of wealth that will be transferred between generations over the next 20 years. High-net worth families need to have a plan to ensure that their wealth is maintained during and after that transition.

How Wealth is Lost Across Generations

In working with high-net worth families, we’ve seen that the following factors cause wealth to be lost before, during, and after the transfer between generations:

  1. Families do not communicate well and expectations are not properly set for the second generation concerning how to maintain and grow wealth for future generations.
  2. People do not utilize estate planning strategies and complex trusts to keep wealth in the family, leading to a large estate tax bill.
  3. Business owners do not create a plan for the succession and transfer of their business if they pass.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to involve my entire family in this discussion?

Every family is different. While open communication leads to optimal planning in many cases, sometimes involving the family over a period of decades works best. Our advisors will help you navigate this decision.

Who needs to be involved for optimal generational planning?

Our advisors want to act as your point person for this planning, but involving your family attorney and accountant will ensure that you are covering all appropriate angles.
