02 Oct The Impact of Life Insurance on Estate Taxes: Protecting Your Wealth
Life Insurance & Estate Taxes
For individuals with significant assets, estate taxes can reduce the wealth passed on to heirs. Life insurance is a valuable tool to help cover these taxes and ensure that your beneficiaries receive the full value of your estate. (The Impact of Life Insurance on Estate Taxes)
Life Insurance and Estate Planning:
- Tax-Free Death Benefit: The death benefit from a life insurance policy is generally income tax-free, making it an efficient way to transfer wealth.
- Estate Tax Liquidity: Life insurance can provide liquidity to cover estate taxes, ensuring that your assets don’t need to be sold off to pay for them.
- Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust (ILIT): Placing a life insurance policy in an ILIT can help keep the policy out of your estate, further reducing estate taxes.
Incorporating life insurance into your estate planning strategy can help you minimize the impact of estate taxes and protect your wealth for future generations.
