How Life Insurance Trusts Work

Once you develop a life insurance trust, your life insurance policy must be transferred into that trust. It means the proceeds from the life insurance policy will be paid to the trust. Through the terms of the trust, the trustmaker or grantor can:

• Choose a trustee to administer the trust (i.e., pick someone who is not a beneficiary of the life insurance policy to have control over the trust)
• Determine how the premiums will be paid
• Select beneficiaries to the policy
• Lay out the terms for how the payouts from the policy will be paid to one or more beneficiaries.

In order for a life insurance trust to be legal and effective, it must meet the following basic requirements:

• The life insurance trust has to be irrevocable.
• The person who is creating the trust cannot be the trustee.
• The trust has to be in place for at least three years prior to the death of the person who is the subject of the life insurance policy.

There are a number of other considerations that can come into play when developing and administering life insurance trusts, so be sure to contact a Denver trust attorney from Colorado Estate Matters, Ltd. to ensure that:

• You create a binding, comprehensive life insurance trust.
• Make sure that you and your loved needs are properly considered and protected by your life insurance trust.
