ESTATE PLANNING COUNCIL OF NORTHERN NEW JERSEY

Two-part presentation on creative, nontraditional uses of life insurance.  It will be a 1 hour zoom presentation featuring two very different but effective, not ordinary, uses of life insurance.

Part I - Private Placement Life Insurance in a rising tax environment.  High net worth individuals are looking for tax efficient ways to build and transfer wealth. Dennis McMahan of M Financial Group outlines the benefits of these specialty life insurance policies for qualified investors (30 minutes).

Part II - Life insurance in the secondary market. As planning changes, so does a client's insurance needs.  Lawrence Adamo outlines the opportunities available to clients and outlines the value of life insurance assets in the secondary market (30 minutes).
