Life Insurance

Advantages of Life Insurance.

Life insurance provides an infusion of cash for dealing with the adverse financial consequences of the insured’s death. Life insurance enjoys favourable tax treatment unlike any other financial instrument. Death benefits are generally income-tax-free to the beneficiary, Death benefits may be estate-tax free if the policy is owned properly.

• Cash values grow tax deferred during the insured’s lifetime.
• Cash value withdrawals are treated on a first-in-first-out (FIFO) basis, therefore cash value withdrawals up to the total premiums paid are generally income-tax free.
• Policy loans are income tax free.
• A life insurance policy may be exchanged for another life insurance policy (or for an annuity) without incurring current taxation.

Note: All the above statements are generally true; however, the tax benefits of life insurance have certain limitations which under the wrong set of circumstances can cause the tax benefits mentioned to be lost.  Please reveal all necessary information true fully  with our insurance and tax advisor.

Many life insurance policies are exceptionally flexible in terms of adjusting to the policyholder’s needs.  The death benefit may be decreased at any time and the premiums may be easily reduced, skipped or increased.

A cash value life insurance policy may be thought of as a tax-favored repository of easily accessible funds if the need arises; yet, the assets backing these funds are generally held in longer-term investments, thereby earning a higher return.
