Summary for Luis & Maria Increased death benefit to $1,750,000 Permanent coverage is more consistent with clients’ goals Possibility to supplement retirement income with cash value 2 Scheduled premium payments end when Luis is age Distributions are generally treated first as tax-free recovery of basis and then as taxable income, assuming the policy is not a Modified Endowment Contract (MEC). However, different rules apply in the first fifteen policy years, when distributions accompanied by benefit reductions may be taxable prior to basis recovery. Non-MEC loans are generally not subject to tax but may be taxable when the policy lapses, is surrendered, exchanged or otherwise terminated. In the case of a MEC, loans and withdrawals are taxable to the extent of policy gain and a 10% penalty may apply if taken prior to age 59 1/2. Always confirm the status of a particular loan or withdrawal with a qualified tax advisor. Cash value accumulation may not be guaranteed depending on the type of product selected. Investments in variable life insurance are subject to market risk, including loss of principal.

Should the policy lapse or be surrendered prior to the death of the insured, there may be tax consequences.
