I'm not sure what you mean by "having access" to it. What does it mean to "have access" to wealth? Do you mean offering them financing with favorable rates?

Nope, I mean owning or having control over money (which is effectively a share of societies productive output). The alternative to rich people (in this case kids) having control over this money, is to tax them. That money could then be redistributed to others. The Universal Basic Income is a concrete proposal based around this kind of insight.
