Planning for Your Life, Loved Ones and Legacy
Life insurance isn’t just about what you leave behind. It’s also about the life you’re living today.
What Does Life Insurance Do?
Most people think of life insurance as a death benefit, and that’s true. But modern life insurance can do so much more:
Provide tax-free income in retirement through policy loans
Eliminate estate taxes through structuring
Help avoid probate
Fund a charitable legacy
Preserve assets from long-term care expenses (via hybrid policies)
Wealthy families have used life insurance for decades to transfer assets efficiently and reduce taxable estates. Now, more retirees are discovering how powerful it can be.
Term vs. Permanent Life Insurance
There are two basic types of life insurance:
Term Life:
Simple, affordable coverage for a fixed period
Permanent Life:
Lasts your entire life, with a cash value component you can use while living
We’ll help you determine which type, or combination, makes sense for your goals.
Why More Retirees Are Buying Life Insurance
It’s becoming increasingly common for retirees in their 60s or even 70s to purchase life insurance for strategic purposes. These policies are often used to:
Replace lost income for a surviving spouse
Leave a legacy to children or charity
Offset taxes on IRA or real estate inheritances
Bottom line? If you’re looking for control, options and efficiency, life insurance can be a great fit. We can show you how it works as part of your Common Sense Retirement RoadmapTM.
