Estate, Gift, and Generation-Skipping Transfer (GST) Taxation and Life Insurance: Estate Planning

Life insurance can provide financial security for your family. However, if you don’t plan appropriately, taxes can greatly reduce the life insurance benefits actually received by your family. Although life insurance proceeds are generally received by the beneficiaries free of income tax, you need to understand how life insurance policies and proceeds are taxed for estate, gift, and generation-skipping transfer tax (GSTT) purposes in order to realize maximum benefits from your insurance.
