Fund your life insurance with LTC benefits using your IRA!

Do you have clients who receive their Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) and do not have an income need for it? Do they take their RMD money and place it in a savings or money market account?

Asset-Care® III is a strategy that combines an individual retirement annuity (IRA) and a 20-pay whole life policy. The life insurance policy accelerates the death benefit for qualifying long-term care expenses, and is funded through the IRA - which is issued with a single premium.

Clients can benefit from qualified money not needed for income to provide protection from the costs associated with long-term care expenses, with unused amounts payable to heirs or charity.
