Ensuring Tax-Efficient Beneficiary Support

An Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust (ILIT) offers a tax-efficient way to transfer wealth while addressing estate tax concerns. By structuring it properly, the ILIT can eliminate income, gift, and estate taxes on life insurance death benefits, ensuring more assets go to desired beneficiaries and causes. You establish the ILIT, appoint a trustee, and transfer ownership of life insurance policies to the trust. Upon your passing, the trustee collects the insurance benefit, covers expenses, and distributes the remainder to beneficiaries, bypassing estate taxes.1
