Course Description

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.

There are four specific types of living benefits that 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.

This CPE Finance Webinar on insurance will help you to understand the basics of life insurance!

About Presenter

Henry Montag

Account Executive, The TOLI Center East

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.

About Company

The TOLI Center East

The TOLI Center East is a life insurance consulting and policy administration firm specializing in Trust-Owned Life Insurance (TOLI) policies. Our clients are legal and tax advisors to policy owners, Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust (ILIT) trustees, grantors and beneficiaries, and Family Offices who lack life insurance product and policy evaluation expertise.

Life insurance is a ‘buy-and-manage’ financial asset typically purchased for a 10 to 50-year duration period. Life insurance carriers and their contracted sales agents provide the ‘buy’ function but the ‘manage’ function is missing unless the policy owner or trustee delegates this function to a qualified third-party provider. The TOLI Center East platform provides the missing annual policy administration, performance monitoring and risk management services necessary to safeguard the interests of the policy owner.

There is a lapsing life insurance policy crisis due to inattention. Life insurance, no different from fixed income and equity investments, requires attentive performance monitoring. While policy management should be considered at the time of policy purchase, credible evaluation can be implemented at any time to avoid lapse and protect the policy’s death benefit liquidity purpose.

The TOLI Center East specializes with TOLI. Most unskilled amateur ILIT trustees serve as an accommodation to the grantor. They are unaware of their fiduciary duties and lack both life insurance product expertise and credible policy evaluation capabilities. Hence, The TOLI Center East is engaged by the trustee and can communicate with the grantor’s legal and tax advisors to assure the TOLI policy (ies) are managed to maximize the probability of a favorable outcome to the trust estate.
