Tax-Exempt Life Insurance

We can help you significantly enhance the value of your estate by passing along more assets than you could otherwise achieve through a purely investment-driven strategy. One of the main ways we can help you do this is through tax-exempt life insurance.

Like a pension or non-registered account, tax-exempt life insurance serves as another asset within your overall portfolio—with some unique advantages.

Under the Federal Income Tax Act:

• Assets accumulate within a tax-exempt life insurance contract free of annual accrual taxation
• When you pass away, any proceeds of the policy distributed to beneficiaries, including the initial insurance coverage and any accumulated assets, are done so on a tax-free basis, outside the scope of your estate

What's more, tax-exempt life insurance also provides:

• The potential for tax-free income during retirement
• Funds for paying the tax liabilities incurred within your other pools of capital

To learn about the different types of coverage and how you can use tax-exempt life insurance in your overall estate plan, please contact a Life-Licensed Investment Advisor.

• Pay the tax on your registered assets
