Insurance Premium Finance
Problem: Finding funding to pay for very large amounts of
insurance required for estate tax purposes by wealthy
clients.
People don’t object to owning life insurance – they just
object to paying for it. For example, a policy often
must be owned by a third party or outside entity that by
itself may not have the means or cash flow to make large
premium payments.
Solution: Clients with these concerns may seek alternative
solutions that allow them to purchase coverage adequate
to meet their needs with favorable tax consequences.
(All this without major disruption to their current
finances.) Premium Finance is just such a tool!
The
potential client for such a financial approach typically
begins with a life insurance need that would require at
least one million dollars of premium. These clients use
insurance purchased in this manner for family
protection, estate liquidity, wealth transfer, and
charitable giving.
Generally these clients have at least a 10 million
dollar estate. To make these plans work, the client
must have liquid assets adequate to pledge as security
for premium payments. He must also be able to pass an
insurance physical exam and must meet lender
requirements.
