Some millionaires are reluctant to talk to their kids about family wealth. Perhaps they are afraid what their heirs may do with it.
In a 2015 CNBC Millionaire Survey, 44% of families having at least $1 million in investable assets said that they had not yet told their children about their future inheritance. Another 27% said they had refrained from mentioning it until their children were 30 or older.1
