Thinking about family legacy with gold - any pitfalls I'm missing?

Been a pretty wild ride building the portfolio over the last 20 years, mostly in tech, here in Scottsdale. Now that things are really substantial – well over $5M liquid, with a good chunk in physical gold and silver, mostly for the hedge and stability long-term – I'm starting to seriously think about how to best pass this on to my kids. They're still young, in their teens, so it's not an immediate concern but I want to lay the groundwork properly now. My primary goal for this precious metals stack isn't short-term gains, but long-term generational wealth preservation, especially with all the talk about inflation and instability.

I’ve looked into various trusts, gifting strategies, and even just outright bequeathing, but there are so many variables when it comes to precious metals and IRAs. Specifically, I'm thinking about setting up a Gold IRA for them down the line, maybe as they hit their 20s. Any of you with significant gold holdings already navigate this for your families? What were the biggest surprises or hurdles you encountered, especially with the tax implications of passing on physical assets vs. a managed fund? I really want to protect them from future financial shocks and make sure they understand the importance of hard assets.

Another angle I’m wrestling with is educating them. It’s one thing to give them a significant inheritance, but another to ensure they have the financial literacy to manage it, especially something as unique as a gold portfolio. How did you guys introduce your kids to the concept of precious metals investing? Did you involve them in purchases or discussions early on? I'm trying to find a good balance between teaching them financial principles and not overwhelming them too early. Any strategies that worked well for you would be hugely appreciated. I’ve been using a tool called the Retirement Planner which has been fantastic for illustrating long-term growth and potential, and I'm wondering if something similar exists specifically for legacy planning with gold and silver.
