Boomers Start Giving Children’s Inheritances To Charity

No longer is this just a billionaires trend

Several boomer billionaires have publicly said they will give most of their wealth to charity rather than to their children when they pass away. But many other boomers have been discretely planning similar moves, say wealth advisers.
