If this occurs, there will still be a need for estate liquidity for estates over this threshold, and life insurance is one of the easiest and least expensive ways of making sure the needed funds are in the right place at the right time. When set up and managed appropriately, life insurance proceeds can be free not only of income tax (a key benefit of life insurance) but of estate taxes as well.
Estate Creation
Life insurance can help pay for estate taxes and costs on estates large enough to warrant them, but most estates are too small for estate taxes. Unfortunately, such estates may also be too small to provide for families in the way the testator might prefer. In other words, some people feel strongly about creating an estate the "old fashioned way," allowing someone to inherit it. Because of life insurance's unique income tax-free status and the ability to establish ownership to avoid inclusion in an estate that would otherwise not incur an estate tax, life insurance is an ideal way to create an estate at death. Options include the use of an Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust (ILIT) or direct ownership by the intended beneficiary with premiums effectively paid with annual gifts.
