Denver Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust Attorney
If one of your family’s major estate planning goals is to minimize estate taxation, you should contact our Denver irrevocable life insurance trust attorneys.
For the past 21 years, attorney Karen L. Brady has built lasting relationships with our clients by advising them on all aspects of estate planning and estate administration. She is the author of the book ” Estate Planning & Taxation in Colorado.” She can recommend and explain the benefits of an irrevocable life insurance trust, or ILIT, as a means of achieving your objective. Life insurance can help you to plan for estate taxation issues down the road. Yet life insurance may be counted as part of your estate and thus add to your estate tax liability. It can be a vicious cycle – you buy more life insurance to pay estate tax and your estate will have to be more taxes, so you have to buy more life insurance, and so on. Putting your life insurance into an irrevocable life insurance trust is a wise strategy, but a complex and often overlooked one.
Do not assume that your life insurance is not subject to estate taxation. Get the facts you need for sound decisions about your family’s future by contacting os today for an initial consultation.
