According to an old insurance adage, "There are only two reasons to get insurance: either you love someone or you hate the IRS.” This witty axiom points out the fact that insurance is an important tool in the tax planning tool chest and one wealthy individuals have used for decades to grow their wealth, reduce risk and generate cash flow without paying any taxes on that cash flow during one's lifetime (if done correctly).
What most people do not realize is that life insurance is not a product you just pick up off the shelf and purchase (many salespeople operate like that, but you will likely have a mediocre outcome and overpay for what you are getting). In reality, life insurance is a powerful tool which can be customized around your specific needs and goals.
The insurance industry is dynamic and is constantly innovating new policies to offer improved benefits. A perfect example of that is how insurance companies have now started providing powerful solutions for funding Long-Term-Care, which I believe are far better suited for future potential needs than traditional LTC Insurance.
Every contract I write is individually tailored to fit your specific needs. In addition, I price and feature-shop different carriers and policies to help make sure you are getting the best value for your money and exactly what you need.
Do you have the right type and right amount of life insurance?
