Transfer of Wealth
Iowa Transfer of Wealth
Between the years of 2000-2049, Iowa can expect to see $531.7 billion transfer from one generation to the next through probate estates. In 2010 through 2019 alone, $74.43 billion is expected to pass to heirs.
Jones County Transfer of Wealth
During years 2010-2019, $468 million is expected to transfer from one generation to the next through probate estates. Between 2000-2050, the estimated transfer is $3.3 billion.
| Transfer of Wealth | Jones County | State of Iowa |
| 2010-2019 | $ 468 million | $ 74.43 billion |
| 2000-2049 | $ 3.3 billion | $ 531.7 billion |
If just five percent of the projected transfer between 2000 and 2050 could be invested at the Community Foundation, nearly $165 million would be endowed. Figuring a five percent grant payout, an estimated $8.2 million could be available annually to improve the quality of life in our community and secure our future.
