There is a good chance that you’ve probably been sorting away most of your retirement funds in a traditional account, however, digital capability in millennials may be the key to making changes in how retirement savings occur. If you are looking to boost retirement assets, millennials have a larger share of the available market and more are willing to move to find different advisors, while older consumers tend to have more money and they are less likely to change. 

A recent 2017 Future of Advice study identified that millennials between the ages of 18 and 34 have $1.5 trillion in total retirement assets, compared to the $22.5 trillion held in retirement by consumers aged 35 and above.

Retirement is a major priority for millennials. Consulting with a retirement planning professional in conjunction with the estate planner that you use to help draft all of your legal documents for what happens if you were to become incapacitated and what happens to your belongings after you pass away is a good idea.

Even if you feel late to the retirement game or are concerned about the best way to make your retirement investments last over the course your older years, being knowledgeable and engaging with these materials on a regular basis can help to benefit you. Do not hesitate to schedule a consultation with an experienced estate planning lawyer to talk more about how your retirement savings may become an important component of how you live your life and pass things on to your future generations.
