Baby boomers, the generation born between 1946 and 1964, hold more wealth than any other living group in history. Many of them have built fortunes through decades of real estate growth, long-term investing, and rising salaries in the prime years of their careers. Yet despite dying with impressive net worths, an alarming number are leaving no legal will behind. This lack of planning often leads to messy probate battles, delayed inheritances, and unnecessary tax burdens for grieving families. Understanding why are so many boomers dying millionaires and leaving no will can help younger generations avoid making the same costly mistake.
