At Stavis Wealth, we blend expertise in life insurance and estate planning with personalized service to customize an estate plan that safeguards your legacy.

Insurance as an Estate Tax Payment Solution 

In many cases, a properly structured life insurance plan utilizing an Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust is the most cost and tax-effective vehicle to pay estate taxes. 

In an ever-changing legislative landscape, the impact of Congressional legislation on tax planning is unpredictable.  A properly funded and executed insurance trust acts as a strategic hedge, providing financial flexibility to offset unforeseen tax adjustments. This helps ensure your estate plan remains adaptable, protecting your family's financial future.
