This CALU Special Report provides an update on CALU’s request for a legislative amendment to permit a life insurance trust to own and fund a life insurance policy and discusses options available to plan for the tax liability that can arise on the death of a life interest beneficiary. We extend our thanks to CALU’s tax advisor, Kevin Wark and Associate Members Florence Marino, Hemal Balsara, Stuart Dollar and Patrick Uzan for their work in preparing this publication.
