Representation is a wealth lever. Public policy can protect what Black families have built. Black Southern households ages 50 and older hold $852 billion in wealth and assets, yet $480 billion sits in households without a will or trust, putting generational wealth at risk. This policy toolkit outlines five solutions to help protect family assets, prevent wealth loss, and strengthen the transfer of wealth to future generations. Protecting Black wealth requires more than building it. We must protect the right to pass it on. #HeldInTrust #KindredFutures #communitywealthbuilding #generationalwealth #wearekindredfutures #greatwealthtransfer #share
