Use a Life Insurance Trust To Achieve Certain Estate Planning Objectives

Sunday, June 12, 2011

Life insurance creates money in the form of death benefit when you die. Or are some reasons to maintain insurance during retirement is to contribute to the payment of inheritance taxes and the provision of specific assets to the heirs. But estate taxes can take much of your property - this includes all income from life insurance. You can use life insurance trust to ignore estate taxes and help in other ways. Here's how.
In 2011 and 2012, property taxes hit 35% of more than $ 5 million - the number of exclusion. The same applies to the score by providing age. So if you have more than $ 5 million deaths - including the proceeds of your life production - could be regarded as irrevocable life insurance trust (Beitar).
The main purpose of Beitar to obtain ownership of life insurance on all your life. Otherwise, take the proceeds of insurance on the property - this is what you get - so it will not be subject to inheritance tax. This makes the insurance amounts to be used 100% to do what you want.
Beitar is typical reasons for using tax money to protect property
* To ensure a legacy for your heirs tax-exempt private property real
* Pay property tax on your company so that they can continue to run
* Division of the legacy of his children from a previous marriage
Beitar is that trust is not irrevocable, permanent loss of control over what is trust. This is what is left of property. Of course, you can find out what happens to confidence in the document.
Beitar your financing:
You can deposit money into your life insurance with Beitar. You can do this in two ways:
1. Transfer of ownership of the policy Beitar your life, or
2. Enter Beitar to buy a new policy on your life, so that political
Beitar If you download your policy must be developed for three years before his death. Otherwise, the federal estate tax return requires death benefits to his property for tax purposes. This is because you can not do the dying - or close (~ 3 years) - Gifts.
Because you do not know when to die is a good idea to have to buy Beitar policy itself. In this way, you're free to die at any moment later, Beitar's performance of its functions. Betar to make sure that before you actually purchase the policy, rule or your money back for three years.
If you need to pay life insurance premiums, can pay by installments gift, which, in turn, Betar to pay premiums to the insurance company. Payment of insurance premiums will decrease property because the money comes from bankruptcy.
These bonus gifts, but usually added to your gift of life to pay the gift tax after his death. But you can exclude $ 13,000 (for 2011) per year per person gift of all people - if there were actually donated during the year.
You can get a $ 13,000 gift exclusion per year, by ensuring Beitar your sentence contains "Crummey" there. This is because the annual gift tax exclusion applies only to gifts "present value" for Gifteer (donee). When your confidence is to keep the money after your death, can be considered only a first contribution to the current value of your talent to provide the ultimate beneficiary of this policy - or the money they make in confidence - they need access to a Gift for a period of at least 30 days after to give confidence. This is the Crummey decision. Of course, I would suggest to the recipient to defer making money.
Remember to use a lawyer put Beitar, so the link to all destinations.
