For Black Families, Building Wealth Starts Before Inheritance

Original: For Black Families, the Fight to Build Wealth Starts Long Before the Will Is Read

A new commentary argues that the battle to build and preserve Black family wealth begins long before an estate is settled. The piece points to barriers such as limited access to capital, discriminatory housing practices, and gaps in estate planning that erode assets across generations. It urges families to plan early through wills, deeds, and open conversations about inheritance, framing wealth transfer as an active, lifelong process rather than something settled only when a will is read.

Why now: Ongoing public debate about racial wealth gaps and intergenerational financial planning has renewed attention to estate planning issues.
