Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust
An Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust is used to hold a Life Policy outside of an estate in order to avoid Income and Estate Taxes. Because the trust is a separate entity from the insurer’s estate, the Life Insurance is not part of the net worth and therefore is not subject to estate tax. Life insurance death benefits are not subject to income tax. Proper use of an Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust will enable heirs to receive the death benefit free and clear of estate and income tax.
