LIFE INSURANCE TRUSTS

Attorney Randy Doane says:

“An irrevocable life insurance trust gives you more control over your insurance policies and the money that is paid from them. If the trust buys the insurance, it will not be included in your estate. So the proceeds, which are not subject to probate or income taxes, will also be free from estate taxes.”

There are additional benefits of a Life Insurance Trust:

– They provide immediate cash to pay estate taxes and other expenses

– The Proceeds avoid probate-Facilitate annual giving

– They Can provide income to a spouse

– They Prevent the court from controlling insurance proceeds, and

– They are an Inexpensive way to pay estate taxes

Estate planning is about much more than just giving away property. It is an act of love and kindness, with the ultimate goal of providing for the future financial security of your loved ones.
