Uncertainty of estate tax laws has made estate planning more challenging than ever. While this uncertainty has caused some to postpone estate planning needs, doing so may jeopardize the financial future of family and/or businesses.
Universal life insurance can help you achieve the financial security that comes from protecting and preserving the estate you’ve built over your lifetime. Its flexibility allows you to adjust the policy when changes in estate tax legislation, your financial situation or any other circumstances trigger a need to review your estate planning strategy.
Business Planning
A universal life insurance contract’s ability to accumulate cash value on a tax-deferred basis can provide solutions for a variety of financial and insurance needs.
Because of the great amount of flexibility, its design works especially well with:
- Buy/Sell Arrangements
- Key Person coverage
- Nonqualified Executive Benefit Programs
- Endorsement Split Dollar Plans
- General Corporate Liability Funding
- Financing Employee Stock Ownership Plans
If properly structured, giving a life insurance policy to a charity may not only provide benefits to the organization, but immediate income tax benefits to the donor as well. A universal life insurance contract’s premium flexibility allows you to decide on the amount of your charitable contribution on a year-by-year basis.
