Life Insurance

Desired amounts can be purchased on the premium payer and the beneficiary, thus insuring that if either of them pass-away the full benefit is paid-in-full, tax-free. The insurance plan can also have a disability clause which pays the premium in the event the premium payer is disabled. The cash build-up in the plan accumulates tax-free and regular income tax is paid on the earnings only of the plan at the time of withdrawals. There are no maximum amounts that can be paid into the life insurance plan.
