Product & implementation considerations

An irrevocable life insurance trust requires qualified legal counsel, an appropriate trustee, and ongoing administration. Ownership, transfers, funding, and policy structure affect legal and tax outcomes. Insurance does not by itself establish a particular estate-tax result.

Product availability, underwriting, features, and compensation vary by insurer, contract, state, and professional capacity. Insurance guarantees depend on the issuing insurer’s claims-paying ability.
