Would your estate plan benefit from a life insurance trust?

A trust can be a powerful way to secure your family’s future. This legal arrangement involves a trustee who manages assets for your beneficiaries.

One popular method of funding a trust is with a life insurance policy, which provides money for your beneficiaries when you die.

If you have children or dependents, creating a life insurance trust can help you plan for their future and ensure they’re taken care of the way you want, even after you’re gone.

A qualified and experienced Lubbock life insurance attorney can help you decide if this option is suitable.

What Are the Benefits of an Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust?

Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust (ILIT) is a trust that manages life insurance policies to benefit its beneficiaries.

ILITs offer several benefits, including:

Estate tax savings: Establishing an ILIT reduces or eliminates estate taxes. The death benefit is part of your taxable estate when you own a life insurance policy. Transferring the policy to an ILIT typically removes the death benefit from your estate, reducing the potential estate tax liability.
Asset protection: Creditors can’t claim assets held in an ILIT.
Control of proceeds: You can specify how to distribute the proceeds from the life insurance policy to the beneficiaries.
Privacy: Unlike wills, which go through probate and become public records, ILITs operate outside the probate process, so the trust details, including the beneficiaries and the amount of the insurance proceeds, remain private.

Avoiding probate: Since the life insurance proceeds are paid directly to the ILIT beneficiaries, they do not go through probate. This can speed up the distribution of funds to heirs and reduce associated costs.
Flexibility: ILITs can accommodate various goals and circumstances. You can name multiple beneficiaries, including contingent beneficiaries, and specify how to distribute the insurance proceeds.
Spending protection: If you are concerned about beneficiaries squandering a lump sum inheritance, an ILIT can provide protection. The trustee can manage and distribute the funds over time to ensure responsible use.

ILITs are irrevocable, which means that once you establish the trust, you typically cannot make changes or revoke it without the beneficiaries’ consent.

Before creating an ILIT, consult an experienced estate planning attorney to ensure it aligns with your specific financial and estate planning goals.

Tax and estate planning laws change, so stay informed of the current tax implications regarding ILITs and periodically review your estate plan with a professional to make any necessary adjustments.

Please don’t wait until it’s too late. Choose Beck Law Firm as your caring partner for trusts, wills, and advanced directives.
