Bad Ideas with Life Insurance
In this episode, we dive into problematic life insurance schemes that have led to lawsuits. We examine how premium financing - originally designed for high net worth individuals seeking death benefits - was repurposed as a risky retirement strategy for people who didn't need it. You'll learn about a recent lawsuit involving complex tax schemes paired with premium financing that left clients with massive loan balances, inadequate collateral, and IRS penalties. We break down the warning signs of these overly complicated arrangements and why they often fall apart when interest rates rise. We share our firsthand experiences with clients who pursued these strategies despite our advice and later regretted it. You'll understand why simpler approaches to life insurance usually produce better results without the legal and financial risks of elaborate tax schemes. ____________________________ Have questions about your life insurance options?
