Are You Using This Tool?

1Estate planning is often perceived as a complex and intimidating task, but it is an essential process to ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes after your passing.

One tool that can play a pivotal role in estate planning, but that often goes overlooked? Life insurance!

Life insurance can help facilitate estate planning goals around wealth transfer, managing estate taxes and providing financial security for successful families.

In our latest blog, we examine how life insurance can be used in estate planning, compare the costs of life insurance versus other sources of liquidity, and explain that it is okay to have more than one life insurance policy.

At C3 Financial Partners, we can show clients and advisors the benefits and drawbacks of various funding mechanisms for their estate planning so they have confidence they are making the best choice for them and their family.
