Personal Life Insurance

Income Replacement on Death

The death of an adult family member has significant financial consequences for the surviving family members as it generally means the loss of income. Insurance can indemnify (compensate for) this risk by replacing lost income and is generally the most cost-effective means of doing so.

Charitable Gifting

This is a common way to reduce the taxes you owe on the estate through making a charitable donation.

Income Taxes Due on Death

In addition to debt planning and family security, other financial consequences can arise on the death of a family member. This can include taxes, probate fees, time off work for the surviving spouse, etc.

Corporate Life Insurance

Shareholder / Key Employee

Companies can protect themselves from losses relating to a premature death of a key employee by purchasing a life insurance policy on their shareholders and key employees.

Buy-Sell Funding / Shareholder Agreement Obligations

When a shareholder dies, the Buy-Sell clause of a shareholder’s agreement protects the interests of the surviving shareholders and the heirs of the deceased by forcing the sale of the deceased’s shares at fair value. With properly structured life insurance, cash will be available to execute the share purchase on a tax-free basis.
