Insurance and planning is really for two main purposes.
The first is ensuring against your future earnings. So
if you were to die or
not be able to work for a reason the insurance
has come in and fill the gap of the earnings that
you would have had in Fuller or part.
The other reason people take out insurance is
to ensure against inheritance tax
commonly can they ensure against inheritance
tax liability for a period of time whilst they
undertake other planning you take out 20 or 30
year term Assurance or a hold of Life contract pay the
premiums and ensure against the inheritance tax. And
in that time you may decide to
give those assets away or structure that in differently
or ideally spend them and then the
inheritance tax liability isn't there anymore and you can cancel the
the policy?
