Retirees Aren't Waiting for the $124 Trillion Wealth Transfer

Original: The $124 Trillion Wealth Transfer: Why Retirees Aren't Waiting to Pass It On

A record $124 trillion is expected to pass from older Americans to younger generations in the coming decades, but many retirees are choosing not to wait. Instead of leaving everything as an inheritance, they are giving money to children and grandchildren during their lifetimes — funding homes, education and expenses while they can see the impact. Financial commentators are debating what this shift means for retirement planning, estate strategy and family finances.

Why now: The sheer scale of the projected transfer is prompting retirees to rethink traditional inheritance timing and estate planning.
