Wealthy Americans really struggle over how much inheritance their children should receive. According to JPMorgan Private Bank, more than a quarter of all clients with over $25 Milion simply cannot decide how much is "too much" Nearly 1/3rd of those interviewed feared that conflict would arise over the allocation/distribution of ivestable assets. And nearly 40% feared that their family would succumb to "financial predators."
Virtually none of those interviewed believed that children under 30 should receive a substantial outright inheritance. But more than one-half said that they were leaving their wealth to multiple generations.
