We understand that creating and effectively managing your wealth is just part of the equation.  It's also important to preserve it.  Through the use of insurance strategies, we can help you preserve your wealth during your lifetime, and protect the value of your estate for your family and other beneficiaries.  Insurance strategies can also help you maximize the wealth you transfer to your heirs.

Estate Creation and Preservation
You can offset costs that are incurred at death and preserve your estate by having insurance proceeds pay them for you.  Taxes, liabilities, estate-related and other future costs can all be offset by your permanent insurance coverage.   By taking advantage of the preferred status of Tax-Exempt Life Insurance, you can maximize the value of your assets and maximize the value being transferred to the next generation.  Living Benefits insurance is also vital to estate preservation, by ensuring funds are available should you require them at a time of illness.

Tax Minimization
Tax-exempt insurance can eliminate the annual taxes you pay on your investment growth, as well as those payable when you die.  Individuals tired of being punished for strong earnings may appreciate this Tax-Protector opportunity.  The long-term value of these products is that their earnings can often greatly eclipse what would otherwise be earned through regular investing.
