Life Insurance As An Estate Planning Tool
War On Wealth Series – Wealth Preservation
Life Insurance policies are absolutely critical to an Estate Plan and is one of the first things that a Financial Planner will check when working on an Estate Plan.
There are four critical areas of the Estate Planning process that make Life Insurance a crucial component to Estate planning:
Wealth Accumulation. Life Insurance can be used to increase your family’s wealth after the death of a family member.
Debt Retirement. Experiencing loss of income from a deceased family member can be catastrophic to a family budget and wreak irrevocable harm.
Income Replacement. Funding an income stream for your family after death can be accomplished from the proceeds of Life Insurance policy.
Estate Liquidity. Debts and owed taxes left by the decedent have to be paid whether the Estate is large or small. And if there is a closely held business you are going to need cash to keep the business operating during probate and to pay an allowance to surviving family members during administering of the Estate.
