The great wealth transfer: What baby boomers need to know
Trillions of dollars are expected to pass to the next generation in what’s being called the great wealth transfer. Taking time to think about how you’d like your assets to be passed on can bring greater clarity for you and the people and causes you care about. It can also help you: • Align your assets with what matters most. • Set clearer expectations for loved ones. • Reduce uncertainty with intentional planning. Discover how to help secure your legacy for your loved ones ⬇️
Legacy planning doesn't have to be stressful. With the right tools and timely strategies, you can stay true to your vision and help your loved ones feel prepared.
Here are a few key things to keep in mind:
• The amount you can pass on without federal estate or gift tax is $15 million per person—or $30 million for married couples in 2026. These higher limits give families more flexibility and room to plan for the future.
• Preparing your wealth transfer priorities today can make a meaningful difference. Name beneficiaries, establish a will and consider trusts.
• Gifting can also play a role. Many people give annually to take advantage of the gift tax exclusion—up to $19,000 per person in 2026 without triggering gift tax.
A thoughtful approach can help more of what you’ve built reach the people and causes you care about. ➡️ https://bit.ly/4hpRIzN

We had a great time last Friday at Redeemer Church in Austin talking about how to spot scams before they happen!
Did you know?
🚩 If it sounds too good to be true—it probably is
🚩 Scammers often create a false sense of urgency to pressure quick decisions
🚩 Requests for gift cards, wire transfers, or payment apps are major warning signs
The more we know, the more we can protect ourselves and those we care about.
