CFP® CE Event 11/10/2021 @ 10 am CT – Life Insurance Planning for HNW Clients

As the rich face higher taxation, some are likely to give life insurance more consideration for its’ tax benefits.  To find out why and how HNW clients use life insurance to accomplish their planning goals, join us for our next CFP® CE approved presentation. 

Life insurance is a financial tool used for many different reasons.  High-Net Worth clients will use it to provide liquidity to pay estate taxes, pass on a family business and equalize their estate among their heirs.  It is a tax advantaged product allowing tax deferral and tax- free benefits during life and at death.  This program looks at the different situations where life insurance could be part of the legacy plan.  We use case studies and provide unique insight to the value of life.  Learn why life insurance is the new Stretch IRA along with advanced concepts like split dollar and premium financing. 

Attendees will receive several advanced planning articles discussing the 5 levels of Estate Planning.
