Summary

 

8.3 Life Insurance Trusts

Most people do, and should, own life insurance.

Owners of family businesses often use life insurance to provide family

members with the cash needed to pay estate tax without having to sell

part or all of the business.

If you have a substantial amount of life insurance, you may want to

create a life insurance trust to help beneficiaries manage the proceeds

and potentially reduce estate taxes.
