Help Safeguard Your Legacy for the Benefit of Your Loved Ones

Life Insurance

Looking out for the well-being of future generations or favorite causes can be a powerful motivation. And turning hard-earned assets into an even larger generally tax-free amount can be a powerful force. A universal life insurance policy such as Legacy Forward® II can be used for transferring assets to others. Provided an applicant qualifies for coverage, life insurance instantly leverages a premium into a larger, generally income-tax-free death benefit.

Legacy Forward II Single Premium Universal Life (SPUL)

If you have assets intended for gifting to others, look to Legacy Forward II. Legacy Forward II is a single premium universal life insurance policy that instantly leverages a single payment (minimum $10,000) into a larger, generally income-tax-free death benefit. You must qualify for coverage with a simple application and a few health questions. Policy decisions are delivered in just five minutes with electronic underwriting. You maintain control of your assets with the ability to take partial surrenders or loans from your policy should you need emergency funds1.

Other benefits:

  • Return of premium guarantee
  • Chronic and terminal illness conditions2
  • Available to issue ages 18-85
  • Policy and benefit provisions vary in some states3

Issuer(s): Western-Southern Life Assurance Company, National Integrity Life Insurance Company
