How it Works

The Survivorship Universal Life policy can assist in planning for the following needs:

Funding a special-needs trust — For those needing extended care, life insurance can provide the funds to pay for expenses when caregivers are no longer living. Learn more about a Special Needs Trust
Charitable Giving — Maybe you have a special place in your heart for a certain charity. With Survivorship Universal Life, you can truly make a difference.
Business transition planning — Life insurance can help provide the funds needed to orderly transfer ownership of a business. For family-owned businesses, it can help make sure those interested in continuing the business can do so, while providing for non-interested heirs.
Help preserve your estate — Even if you have dipped into your assets during retirement, the policy will leave death benefit proceeds that generally pass income-tax free to your beneficiaries. They could use the policy proceeds to help offset federal estate taxes, keeping your estate intact.footnote^[2]

Additional benefits:

Build tax-deferred cash value — The growth in cash value is federal tax-deferred and it can be accessed for a variety of personal needs.footnote^[3]
Flexible premiums — Raise or lower premiums, depending on your changing needs or financial situation
Affordable — Since the policy pays only after two people have passed on, it usually costs less than two whole life or universal life insurance policies
Tax-free death benefit — No matter how large your death benefit, it passes to your beneficiaries generally income tax-free
