@scrubbles Let me correct this one for them:
Millennials — long mocked for being locked out of the housing market and postponing major life decisions due to their financial position — are finally starting to inherit wealth.
Well, as long as they're middle class.
Many princes and princesses of the top 10% already had parents willing to be guarantors on mortgages, or just outright give precious a trust fund.
And working class millennials are already screwed, and will be for the rest of their lives.
But for 40-something middle-class Millennials, their 70-something Boomer parents kicking the bucket is providing an unexpected financial windfall.
I know everyone thinks they are middle class, but If your parents are giving you a trust fund you are probably pretty solidly in the upper class, not middle.
@jrs100000 You'll note I said "princes and princesses of the top 10%". As in top 10% of households by income.
Those Millennials are set.
The middle class Millennials are now starting to inherit property.
And the working class Millennials? Screwed.
My parents have been very clear, there is no inheritance. I love them but when we were young adults they bought into the idea that getting college degrees would set us up for life and they decided to coast on their early retirement instead of buying property and getting real assets to hand down.
All Im inheriting is debt...
Are you American? If so, know your rights. Most debt cannot be passed down to surviving children. If the amount of debt exceeds how much their estate is worth, the lenders are not entitled to you paying them. They will try to make you pay, don't do it! Do not give them even one penny or agree to anything, or you will have then "assumed" the debt and now it is yours.
The exceptions are loans where your name is on them (joint or cosigned iirc) or medical debt in certain states with filial responsibility laws.
With ya there.
after 30 years I thought the house was paid off. Nope. Now I'm in 5 way inheritance battle over scraps waiting to happen.
