Life insurance, for those who qualify, is a powerful tool to help meet a wide range of personal and financial objectives. Most people are familiar with life insurance as a way of providing funds to replace lost income in the event the family “bread winner” passes away. It can also be used to pay off existing liabilities such as mortgages, and can provide funds for future expenses, such as college costs for children or grandchildren.
Life insurance can also play a significant role in business planning and succession. Banks and other lending institutions may require life insurance on a borrower’s life as collateral for loans. Business owners may also use it to fund buy-sell agreements or to equalize asset transfers to children who do not participate in a family business or farm.
