Wealth, Inheritance, and the $40 Trillion Tsunami | David York | TEDxSaltLakeCity

Inherited wealth. Is it a powerful tool or a destructive weapon? David York argues it can be both, depending on how you define and use it. In this mind-expanding talk, he counsels us on the impending $40 trillion global wealth transfer and how to prevent it from becoming a deadly dynamite detonation.


David R. York is a Principal with the Salt Lake City law firm of York Howell and Guymon, where he practices law in the areas of estate planning, tax, business planning, and non-profit entities. He is a Fellow with the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel (ACTEC) and a Member of the Society of Trust and Estate Professionals (STEP). David has been regularly named to Utah Business Magazine’s Utah Legal Elite™ in the field of Estate Planning and as a Mountain States Rising Star in Super Lawyers Magazine.

David loves working with entrepreneurs, closely held businesses, and families of all kinds. In particular, he loves challenging conventional wisdom when it comes to wealth transfer and instead prefers to focus on how to make the most positive, meaningful impact with wealth across generations and in society as is humanly possible.
