Does Inheritance Lead to Inflation?

From Breaking the Silence on the Inheritance Boom, Prudential's sponsored content on The Washington Post site:

Over the next 30 years, a wealth transfer of nearly $58 trillion is expected to change hands from baby boomers to younger generations in the form of inheritance, according to a recent study from the Boston College Center on Wealth and Philanthropy. ••• The enormous wealth transfer will give the next generation more money to spend, leading to increases in higher education tuition, insurance premiums and housing prices.

Not so long ago, it was the baby boomers who were expected to inherit incredible sums. It didn't trigger inflation.  Will the millennials' Great Expectations have greater impact?
