“The $84 Trillion Wealth Transfer Is Tearing Families Apart—Therapists Are Now Helping Heir” — what this page in the network covers. As the United States undergoes the largest intergenerational wealth transfer in history—estimated at $84 trillion—families are increasingly turning to mental health professionals to navigate the emotional fallout of inheritances. Therapists report a surge in clients dealing with conflicts over estates, unequal distributions, and long-buried resentments that surface when a parent dies. Unlike financial advisors or estate planners, these therapists focus on the psychological dynamics: sibling rivalries, feelings of entitlement or guilt, and the grief that complicates decision-making. The trend reflects a broader recognition that money is rarely just money;
