Irrevocable Life Insurance Trusts (ILITs)
Using insurance inside a trust can have a powerful impact on your clients’ estate planning strategy. Common client goals achieved by using an ILIT include:

  • Avoiding forced liquidation to pay estate taxes on an asset the family wants to retain, such as a family business or real estate
  • Providing a safety net for potential long-term care needs in later years
  • Minimizing estate tax liability at the time assets transfer to heirs
  • Offering an opportunity to enhance charitable contributions, in addition to providing for heirs
  • Ensuring an equitable distribution of assets to heirs
  • Providing for greater control of assets

LPL Insurance and The Private Trust Company work together to help advisors implement this powerful planning tool. LPL Financial also provides an Advisor Guide for ILITs with detailed information illustrating how an ILIT can assist your clients, as well as compliance-approved materials to help you illustrate these concepts with your clients.
