Vanguard warns most heirs inherit debt along with assets
Original: Vanguard flags a sobering debt gap facing most heirs
Vanguard is drawing attention to what it calls a sobering gap in household finances: most people who stand to inherit from parents or relatives will also be connected to outstanding debts. The investment firm says heirs should plan for liabilities alongside expected assets, a warning that is prompting discussion about inheritance planning, estate debts and how families prepare financially for a transfer of wealth.
Why now: Vanguard's warning that most heirs face inherited or lingering debt is striking a nerve amid widespread anxiety about household debt and retirement shortfalls.
