Life insurance is a unique product – and there are many types. While many use it to protect their loved ones, it may also be used to gift money to charity, transfer for a business interest, or pay off debts. Life insurance is one of the more useful financial products that a client can own. Utilizing real-life examples and discussion, we will compare the advantages and disadvantages of each approach to calculating the life insurance need. We will also discuss when an ILIT may come in handy, how life insurance can supplement retirement benefits, and the taxation of life insurance for both employers and employees. Whether you are an underwriter or an agent, if you are looking to dig deeper on the uses of life insurance, this is the course for you. It is all in this edition of the The Risk Management Handbook!
