Family Protection

The most obvious need for life insurance is to protect one’s family and dependents in the case of a calamity. The insurance proceeds can be used to pay outstanding mortgage balances and other debt, replace income in order to protect current lifestyle expenses, or pay taxes due upon death.

Business Protection

The death or illness of an active business owner or a key person can have devastating financial consequences. In fact, the business may not survive it without emergency resources. The right insurance policies can provide liquidity in the transition period after the death or extended sickness of key personnel, fund a buy-sell agreement, or cover overhead expenses.

Legacy Planning

Under the right circumstances an insurance policy can generate an after-tax rate of return that is often difficult to match in traditional investment vehicles. Whether you plan to leave an inheritance, help a charity, or create an endowment for a foundation, life insurance contracts can serve as a tool in in a wealth transfer plan.
