Article Abstract:
Split-dollar life insurance policies can effectively be used for general estate planning benefits and specifically to avoid estate taxes on proceeds of life insurance. IRS letter rulings 9636033 and 9745019 provide favorable guidance regarding Family Split-Dollar policies and trust transactions which open up many planning avenues.
