Premium Financed Life Insurance

When a client’s net worth and life insurance need deems it appropriate, it often makes sense for them finance their life insurance premiums using a third-party bank’s capital – an efficient use of leverage within their estate plan. Whether it is to provide the liquidity for the next generation’s 40% estate tax liability, or to leverage their own tax-free retirement income, premium financing can be a prudent strategy.
