    Cerulli AssociatesResearch firm

    Cerulli finds that as advisors serve wealthier clients, demand is rising for tools that support tax and estate planning. More than half of advisors, 55%, already offer trust and estate planning, and many who lack specialized estate planning software expect to adopt it within a year.

    Cerulli AssociatesResearch firm

    Cerulli examines how heirs view their benefactors' advisors as more than $120 trillion is set to be inherited over the next 25 years.
