FINANCIAL PLANNING
LIFE INSURANCE MEETS MANY NEEDS
Life insurance can be a complex and confusing product. To decide whether you need life
insurance, start by asking what it can do for you and your family.
• Replace tost wages. One important function of life insurance is to replace lost wages. For
example, let's say.a family's sole breadwinner dies, leaving a $500,000 life insurance policy.
The surviving spouse can use the investment income on $500,000 to replace the wages of the
deceased spouse. Families with young children are most likely to need life insurance for this
purpose.
• Pay estate taxes. Another function of life insurance is to pay estate taxes, which can
deplete as much as 55% of a large estate. But beware of a potential trap. If you die owning life
insurance that was earmarked to pay estate taxes, the insurance itself may be subject to tax.
The tax law says that you own a life insurance policy if you can change the beneficiary,
cancel the policy, or borrow against it. To keep life insurance out of your estate, consider
transferring ownership of your policies to an irrevocable life insurance trust, or to your children
or other heirs. The transfer of a life insurance policy can raise complex tax issues, so consult us,
your insurance agent, and your attorney first.
• Fund a buy-sell agreement. If you own a business, life insurance can help you fund a
“buy-sell” agreement. When you die, this type of agreement helps ensure that your heirs will be
able to sell your business at a fair price.
• Donate to charity. You also can use life insurance to fulfill your charjtable goals. For
example, you can donate an insurance policy to charity during your lifetime, or you can name
a charity as beneficiary when you die.
