Using Life Insurance to Create an Asset for Inactive Children

July 20, 2010, 1


From Legacy Moment eNewsletter (July 16, 2010).
Please join us for future issues, delivered via email each Friday.


 
Jake owns a successful agribusiness. His son Chad has been involved in the operation since college. The operation is worth $4 million, and it represents significantly all of Jake’s assets. His other son, Clayton, is not involved in the operation.

To make an equitable distribution to both his children, Jake purchases a $2 million life insurance policy and names Clayton as beneficiary. Though this is not an equal distribution, Jake rationalizes that a $4 million operation, like any business, is risky. It is fraught with opportunities and obligations, duties and responsibilities.
