Leaving a Legacy

Are You looking for a simple, safe, effective way to create a legacy for loved ones or charity – without losing access to your money?

If so, what are your options?

  • CD’s have a guaranteed interest rate and you can get your original investment back if needed (though early withdrawal penalties may apply).  However, they may have low interest rates, which means the value increases very gradually.  There are also annual income taxes on gains.
  • Annuities defer income taxes on gains until they are distributed – during life or after death – and, if you withdraw them before age 50 1/2, there may be a 10% tax penalty.  They do have a guaranteed interest rate but, as is often the case with CD’s, the rate can be low, again accumulating gradually.
  • Grange Life Single Premium Universal Life (SPUL),  immediately – and significantly – increases what the you would leave behind with tax to pay over the life of the contract and generally no federal income tax on the death benefit to beneficiaries/heirs.
