Do not put content on the brand signature area ©2014 Voya Services Company. All rights reserved. CN Your estate may need cash  You may not have a lot of cash when you die.  If there isn’t enough cash in your estate, the executor may need to find a way to come up with some. 8

Do not put content on the brand signature area ©2014 Voya Services Company. All rights reserved. CN Your estate may need cash  Your executor may have to sell some of your assets.  It may be difficult to get a fair price after your death. –The market may be down –The executor’s negotiating position may be weak –Time pressures may require an quick sale 9

Do not put content on the brand signature area ©2014 Voya Services Company. All rights reserved. CN Life Insurance can potentially be a cost-effective way to create cash

Do not put content on the brand signature area ©2014 Voya Services Company. All rights reserved. CN Life Insurance needs careful handling  The policy needs to be managed so that the death benefits are available to meet the cash needs of your estate without being included in your taxable estate. 12

Do not put content on the brand signature area ©2014 Voya Services Company. All rights reserved. CN Life Insurance needs careful handling  When you own a life insurance policy that insures your own life, the death benefits are part of your taxable estate.  The death benefits may increase the size of your estate so much that estate taxes can be due.  If your estate is already large enough to have estate tax concerns, the death benefits can make the problem worse.  When the policy death benefits create or increase your estate tax problem, part of the death benefits may need to be used to pay the taxes. 13

Do not put content on the brand signature area ©2014 Voya Services Company. All rights reserved. CN Tax Professionals may recommend creating a Trust to own the life insurance policy. A well-drafted trust may potentially keep the policy death benefits estate tax free!* *Proceeds from an insurance policy are generally income tax free, and if properly structured, may also be free from estate tax. 14

Do not put content on the brand signature area ©2014 Voya Services Company. All rights reserved. CN Some possible advantages of using a Trust to own a Life Insurance Policy These are some of the potential advantages to using a Trust to own a life insurance policy:  While the Trust owns the policy, it may be protected from the claims of creditors (both yours and your children’s).  All decisions about the policy are made and carried out by the Trustee you selected; this provides centralized management.  You may retain a degree of control over the policy through the provisions you put into the Trust. 15

Do not put content on the brand signature area ©2014 Voya Services Company. All rights reserved. CN Some possible disadvantages of using a Trust There some potential disadvantages to using a Trust:  The cost of creating the trust.  The loss of direct personal control over the policy (although some degree of control is retained by virtue of the provisions put into the trust).  The trust must be irrevocable. 16

Do not put content on the brand signature area ©2014 Voya Services Company. All rights reserved. CN Trusts that own life insurance policies are called “ILITs” “ILIT” = Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust 17

Do not put content on the brand signature area ©2014 Voya Services Company. All rights reserved. CN How are the Policy Premiums paid?  The Trustee of the ILIT is responsible for managing the policy and paying the annual premiums.  You provide the premium dollars to the trust in one of two ways: –Gifts to the ILIT for the benefit of the beneficiaries. –Loans to the ILIT. 18

Do not put content on the brand signature area ©2014 Voya Services Company. All rights reserved. CN Using gifts to pay premiums  Grantors often make gifts to their ILITs.  There are two potential strategies for avoiding gift taxes: –Annual exclusion gifts (up to $14,000 per recipient per year in 2014 when the recipient has a present interest in the gift) –Lifetime exemption gifts (for gifts which don’t qualify for the annual exclusion). 19

Do not put content on the brand signature area ©2014 Voya Services Company. All rights reserved. CN Using gifts to pay premiums  Annual Exclusion Gifts are often used: –They are “renewable” – each year a new set of exclusions is created –Several annual exclusions can be combined to cover the premium –To qualify as an annual exclusion gift, the beneficiary must have a “present interest” 20

Do not put content on the brand signature area ©2014 Voya Services Company. All rights reserved. CN How can the ILIT pay Estate Expenses?  The costs and expenses of settling your affairs are borne by your estate.  There are two potential ways the death benefits your ILIT receives may be used to pay help pay estate costs: –The ILIT trustee may lend the cash from the death benefits to your estate, or –The ILIT trustee may purchase assets from your estate with cash from the death benefits. 21
