Michael & Jennifer have a total net worth of $13,750,000 mainly consisting of the family’s closely held business; with a potential estate tax liability of roughly $1,500,000 under current estate tax law. How will their children pay the estate taxes due upon their parents death without having to sell the family business? Traditional Estate Planning Case M45 F45PNT Max Annual Premium Solve $10,557.90 for 10 Yrs $1.5M DB

31 FOR PRODUCER USE ONLY – NOT FOR DISSEMINATION TO THE PUBLIC  Working with the attorney of Michael & Jennifer you work up a scenario whereby the attorney establishes an irrevocable life insurance trust (ILIT) on behalf of the couple.  The trust owns and is beneficiary of an Elite Index Survivor life insurance policy, with Michael & Jennifer as the insureds.  The couple can use a portion of their annual federal gift tax exclusion ($14,000) to fund the policy. The Solution M45 F45PNT Max Annual Premium Solve $10,557.90 for 10 Yrs $1.5M DB

32 FOR PRODUCER USE ONLY – NOT FOR DISSEMINATION TO THE PUBLIC The ILIT is the owner and beneficiary of an American General Elite Survivor Indexed policy. In this scenario, the required premium for 10 years is $10,558. Which is less than the couples annual gift tax exclusion. This premium is projected to support the $1,500,000 death benefit. Upon the second death, the ILIT can provide the liquidity needed to help pay estate taxes and transfer costs using proceeds from the policy.
