Survivorship Life Insurance
Insurance covering two people in order to reduce the overall cost and improve the efficiency of life insurance.
What is survivorship life insurance?
A life insurance policy covering two people (usually married) as an efficient way to pass wealth to the next generation. Since no death claim is paid on the first death, these policies are generally used as an estate planning tool in order to pay estate taxes or transfer assets.
The uses of survivorship life insurance
While most plans are used for estate planning, there are other applications where it makes sense to use these lesser-known policies.
- Estate tax payment
- Debt repayment
- Business partners’ transfer of ownership
- Charitable giving
- Legacy giving
- Special needs planning
