Frequently Asked Questions
Both, but protection comes first. If you die without adequate life insurance, your wealth-building stops and your family may lose everything. Term life insurance is extremely affordable—$500K coverage might cost $30-50/month. Get protection in place, then focus on growth.
Incentive trusts distribute funds based on achievements (education, career, charitable work) rather than age. Life insurance funded trusts can require beneficiaries to be employed, match their earned income, or meet other criteria before accessing funds.
Key person insurance replaces your value to the business. Buy-sell agreements (if you have partners) ensure fair transfers. Personal life insurance provides family income separate from business assets. Diversifying from business concentration is a key first-gen challenge.
At minimum: wills, powers of attorney, healthcare directives. As wealth grows: trusts for asset protection and controlled distribution, life insurance for liquidity and wealth transfer, and potentially more sophisticated structures like FLPs or ILITs.
Life insurance is often the foundation. It creates guaranteed wealth that transfers tax-free, regardless of market conditions or business performance. Even a modest permanent policy started today grows into a meaningful legacy over decades.
