Living Inheritance: Pros, Cons, and What to Consider

Should you give your children part of their inheritance while you’re still alive? In this episode of Retirement With/On Purpose, host Trevor Lawson explores the concept of a living inheritance—what it means, how it works, and whether it might be right for your family. Drawing from an article, Pros and Cons of a Living Inheritance by Randy Fox, and real-world client experiences, Trevor walks through the potential pros like tax benefits, shared experiences, and meaningful financial relief, as well as important considerations like family dynamics, over-gifting, and preserving your own financial security.
