2 Protect Your Family 2  Few people have the resources necessary to pay for a funeral on short notice.  Paying for your final expenses could place a significant financial burden on your loved ones.  The TrustGuard Gold plan provides the confidence of knowing you have funds set aside to help pay for your final expenses. Since the TrustGuard Gold plan DOES NOT involve a contract to purchase any funeral, burial and/or cremation-related goods and/or services, it may be used at any funeral provider.

5 A Comprehensive Protection Plan The TrustGuard Gold plan combines whole life insurance and a trust to help you:  Have funds available to help pay for your funeral without having to make detailed plans with a funeral provider. 1  Protect your assets from creditors like hospitals, nursing homes and banks, and may exempt your money from Medicaid limits, 2 depending on state laws.  Potentially pass remaining value to your estate or leave a legacy to your named beneficiaries, including a charitable organization or religious institution, depending on the type of plan you choose. 5 1 Since the TrustGuard Gold plan DOES NOT involve a contract to purchase any funeral, burial and/or cremation-related goods and/or services, it may be used at any funeral provider. 2 Medicaid rules, as well as their interpretation and application, vary by state and the ability to qualify for a state and/or federal public assistance program IS NOT guaranteed. You should always consult an elder-law attorney or a financial advisor who is knowledgeable in this area on your state’s specific rules pertaining to irrevocable assignments, Medicaid eligibility and on using a trust to protect your assets. The applicant’s individual circumstances at the time of application for government assistance will, in part, determine whether or not the policy will count as a resource. The judgment of the case worker handling the application will also be a factor. M8571 (02-15) © 2015 Forethought
