19 Do not put content on the brand signature area ©2014 Voya Services Company. All rights reserved. CN1008-13020-1116 Some possible advantages  Policy premiums death benefits are generally paid out income tax free.  You retain some control; if your circumstances or objectives change, the split dollar agreement could be terminated.  Using the value of the life insurance protection to measure the gift may be advantageous: –This value may be less than the policy premiums.

20 Do not put content on the brand signature area ©2014 Voya Services Company. All rights reserved. CN1008-13020-1116 Some of the possible disadvantages  You pay the expenses of establishing both the ILIT and the split dollar agreement.  The total premiums paid or policy cash value (which ever is greater) on the date of death is taxed in your estate.  The value of your gift of life insurance protection increases each year.  If the policy is a survivorship policy, the value of the gift of life insurance protection may increase significantly after the death of the first insured.
