Create a legacy that passes on your wealth and values

A significant wealth transfer is underway as baby boomers pass on their accumulated wealth to younger family members. By 2048 an estimated $124 trillion* is set to change hands in the U.S.

As wealth changes hands from one generation to another, RBC Wealth Management is positioned to help families plan and communicate so the transition is about money and values for an impactful, long-term legacy.

When it comes to a wealth transfer mindset, RBC Wealth Management learned from conducting a 2024 survey that individuals, regardless of age, similarly prioritize family harmony and family values. Perhaps surprisingly, a generation gap did not exist between baby boomers, millennials and Gen Xers.

Our wealth transfer survey also found that the keys to successful wealth transition are trust and communication, heir preparedness and alignment of family values around wealth. To help you, we created a new wealth transfer insights guidebook. Access the guide now to get started.
