How to Secure Lifetime Income and Leave the Principal Behind

What if you could take an asset and provide increasing protected income for the rest of your life, while also making sure the principal is left to your kids? This option now exists. Clients can receive this increasing stream of lifetime income, to help offset the rising inflation risk, while also making sure a significant inheritance is left behind for their family. Depending on the options and configuration of the policy, the stream of income can be passed on to the surviving spouse, providing income for the rest of their life as well.

With a carefully considered “Income Legacy Plan” clients can now combine an Indexed Annuity with a Survivorship IUL policy to take joint life income, starting year one, and also secure a $1M death benefit for their heirs. The SIUL minimum premium would be paid for with after-tax annuity payments, providing both a stream of increasing protected joint-life income and the security of a substantial death benefit.

These policies with a $1M initial asset funding would provide roughly $30k income initially, after taxes and premium payments, and that income would continue to grow substantially over time. This would ensure an increasing stream of protected income that would surpass traditional policies and a $1M death benefit to leave behind.

Key Notes to Consider:

• If the client didn’t need the total income, it could be funded into the SIUL (up to the new, higher 7702 limits). This would create more cash value for liquidity and potentially also more death benefit if the cash value hit the corridor.
• Not only do the kids get the $1M income tax free death benefit but they also get either the indexed annuity account value in a lump sum or the income account value over 5 years. If both parents prematurely pass away their heirs will inherit much more than $1M.
• In the analysis I compared to a Muni Bond account with a 2.5% yield.
• This plan could work well for an annuity replacement, cash/bond accounts, qualified accounts, or even stock accounts with significant unrealized gains, where the loss of step up in basis may concern clients.
• If the clients are less concerned about income, we can fund high IUL premiums and purchase more life insurance to increase the death benefit.
• We could also use a survivorship product with a longer guarantee if that is a concern.
