The Family Wealth Transfer Strategy

The Family Wealth Transfer Strategy (FWTS) from ivari offers clients an affordable, efficient way to provide an inheritance for their children^*(1) while maximizing the value of their financial gift.

By using a Universal Life (UL) insurance policy as the vehicle to transfer non-registered assets, your clients immediately increase the value of their estate by minimizing income taxes and bypassing probate and estate fees.

Creating a valuable gift

When meeting with clients, asking them the following questions will help you decide whether or not the Family Wealth Transfer Strategy from ivari is right for them. If any of these goals are a priority, then they should consider this strategy.

Ask your client if they would like to:

Provide financially for the future of their children?
Reduce the tax consequences of giving money to their children?
Maintain control of their assets until their children are ready to receive this gift?
Provide an inheritance for their children that is affordable?
Provide a gift for their children while they are still alive?

A gift for every stage of their life

Unlike traditional insurance solutions that provide benefits upon death of a parent, or grandparent, the FWTS is built around using a universal life (UL) insurance policy on the life of the child to transfer non-registered assets in a tax efficient manner.
