Survivorship (Second To Die) Life Insurance
Life insurance that works as hard as you do
For many, leaving a legacy and taking care of those who matter most is an important objective. After all, it’s how you will be remembered. Whether it’s leaving an inheritance to your heirs, transitioning your family business to the next generation, ensuring that a loved one with a disability or other special need is appropriately cared for, or making a financial contribution to your favorite charity, your situation demands special attention. Survivorship Whole Life insurance ( also known as second - to - die )is an effective tool for helping to ensure that your dreams are realized, your goals achieved and your needs fulfilled. It insures two lives under one permanent life insurance policy with just one premium. Survivorship life insurance pays a death benefit to your beneficiary after both insureds have died and typically costs less than two individual policies. It provides needed liquidity for your estate, protects your assets and helps you plan for how you will be remembered.
Preserve what you’ve built
Under current tax laws, estate assets can pass from one spouse to the other free of estate and gift taxes.While this ensures protection for your spouse, it can place a significant tax burden on your heirs. The future of your business could be adversely affected, your family finances left to risk. Survivorship Whole Life can be an effective planning vehicle to ensure that your family has the liquidity needed to keep your legacy alive. If you have developed a significant amount of wealth and want to factor life insurance into your overall estate plan, Survivorship Whole Life may be a solution. That’s because life insurance proceeds are generally paid income tax-free. In addition, the policy ownership may be arranged so that the death benefit payment is excluded from your and your spouse’s taxable estate. Without an effective estate plan, taxes could seriously erode any wealth that you wish to pass on to your heirs. Survivorship Whole Life insurance can provide liquidity to protect your family and business. Our financial representatives, working together with your tax and legal advisors, can advise you on how to best use Survivorship Whole Life insurance to help preserve your assets for your loved ones.

Upon death, proceeds from a Survivorship Whole Life policy can be put into a special needs trust to make funds available for your child’s care and financial security without disqualifying them from eligibility for federal benefits. 3 Call us today at 866-392-INFO (4636)

1 Dividends are not guaranteed 2 Distributions under your policy (including cash dividends and partial/full surrenders) are not subject to taxation up to the amount paid into the policy (your cost basis). If the policy is a Modified Endowment Contract, policy loans and/or distributions are taxable to the extent of gain and are subject to a 10%tax penalty. Access to cash values through borrowing or partial surrenders can reduce the policy’s cash value and death benefit, increase the chance the policy will lapse, and may result in a tax liability if the policy terminates before the death of the insured. 3 The information provided is not written or intended as tax or legal advice and may not be relied on for purposes of avoiding any Federal tax penalties.
