While everyone is aware of and can provide several examples of the many uses of the ‘Death Benefits’ of a Life Insurance policy, the same cannot be said of the various ‘Living Benefits’ of a Life Insurance policy. The major reason people buy life insurance is so that when they die, their family, business partners, or other beneficiaries will receive a check from the insurer. Most are also aware that the proceeds from a life policy can be received as income & estate tax-free if set up properly.
Unfortunately, however, most people view life insurance as a stodgy document that you buy and put in a file drawer, only to be looked at when the insured passes away. That thinking worked up to the early 1980s when there were only two types of life insurance, Term & Whole Life. Then in 2010 with the passage of the Pension Protection Act, the concept of combining life Ins and long-term care coverage came into being and this further developed the need for professionals to become familiar with the new ‘Living Benefits’ of a typical life Insurance policy.
This CPE course will focus on the fact that life insurance is also an ‘Asset Class’ that can in addition to providing a death benefit for its beneficiaries, can also provide significant living benefits to an insured/owner while they are alive.
Four specific types of living benefits can be enjoyed by those aware of and able to take advantage of them. Unfortunately, only a small number of policy owners and their advisors are aware of the current living benefits available in a life insurance policy today. These benefits that we’ll discuss are capable of providing so much more than just a death benefit.

I as the managing partner of The TOLI Center East help people better understand their life Insurance portfolio regardless of whether a person owns their life Insurance policy individually or through a trust. Whether the person is a CPA, an Attorney, or another type of an advisor, one thing remains the same. Most people are not familiar with their life Ins and incorrectly assume that their coverage will be there for the rest of their lives.
But because the majority of life insurance purchased over the last 25 years is Not Guaranteed and has significantly been affected by years of decreased interest rates and neglect on the part of the amateur trustee that wasn’t aware that they should have been increasing the annual premium, an increasing percentage of those policies are now expiring years earlier than anticipated.
Lastly, Life Insurance today is an 'Asset Class' and as such
can significantly benefit the Insured with its 'Living Benefits' as well as the
beneficiary with its traditional death benefit.
The more you and your clients know about your & their life insurance portfolio, the better off everyone’s family will be.
