1. Independent Advisors Forum A Penn Mutual Due Diligence Meeting

2. Wealth Transfer & Estate Planning with IRA Assets Create A Legacy With Individual Retirement Accounts David A. Scott, J.D., CLU Vice President, Advanced Sales

3. The Profile Client ►Substantial Retirement Savings (IRA, 401(k), Deferred Annuities, etc.) ►Lifestyle Not Dependent on Retirement Assets ►Total Estate Exceeds $2 Million (2006-2008) ►Desire to Maximize Legacy and Minimize Taxes ●“I’m Saving It for the Kids”

4. IRAs & Qualified Plans ►Qualified Retirement Plans ●Pension & Profit Sharing Plans, 401(k) Plans, 403(b) Plans, SEP, SIMPLE, etc. ●IRA Rollover at Retirement ►The Good News... ●No Income Tax on Contributions or Rollovers ●Tax-Deferred Earnings & Growth ►The Bad News... ●Required Distributions During Lifetime ●Income Tax on Plan Funds During Lifetime ●Potential “Double Taxation” At Death

5. The Problem ►Continued Tax-Deferred Growth Will Create Larger Amount During Lifetime ►Many People Do Not Need or Want to Spend IRA Funds During Lifetime ►If Funds Remain at Death... THE IRS MAY BE THE PRIMARY BENEFICARY!

6. Federal Taxation of Retirement Plans ►IRAs & Retirement Plans Taxed as “Income in Respect of Decedent” (IRD) ●Subject to BOTH Estate Tax & Income Tax ►Four-Step Calculation ●Estate Tax Computed on Full Value Assets ●Amount Subject to Income Tax Determined ●Estate Tax Subtracted from Amount Subject to Income Tax ●Income Tax Computed on Balance Total Tax Equals Estate Tax Plus Income Tax

7. Example - IRA ►Value of IRA at Death - $1,000,000 ►Assumed Federal Tax Rates ●Estate Tax: 45% ●Income Tax: 35% ►Estate Tax ●$1,000,000 X.45 = $450,000 ►Income Tax ●$1,000,000 Minus $450,000 (Estate Tax) = $550,000 X.35 = $192,500 Total Tax: $450,000 + $192,500 = $642,500 (Over 64%)

8. Will the Federal Estate Tax Be Repealed?

9. SNOWBALL And the Answer Is...

10. Options During Lifetime ►Continue Accumulation ●RMD Must Begin at Age 70 1/2 for IRA & Qualified Plans ●IRS May Become Biggest Beneficiary with 60%+ Taxes ►Transfer Retirement Funds ●Income Tax Paid at Time of Transfer ●Gift Tax May Be Payable ●Charitable Gift – Tax “Wash” ►Pension Protection Act – “Much Ado About Nothing” ►Take Distributions ●Income Tax Payable – Lowest Rates in 60 Years ●Lump Sum Distribution ●Periodic Distributions ►Required Minimum Distributions (RMD) ►Distributions Over Life Expectancy or Fixed Period

11. Lifetime Distributions ►Spend the Funds & Remove From Estate ●No Legacy for Family or Beneficiaries ►Invest/Accumulate the Funds in Other Assets ●Assets May Be Subject to Federal & State Death Taxes ►Wealth Transfer - Gift to ILIT to Pay Life Insurance Premiums

12. Wealth Transfer Strategy ►Use Distributions From IRA to Pay Premiums for Life Insurance Policy ●Reduces Amount of “Double Tax” IRA ●Creates Tax-Free Life Insurance Proceeds ►“Triple Leverage” of IRA Because Life Insurance Death Benefits... ●Exceed Premiums Paid ●Are Income Tax-Free ●Are Estate Tax-Free with Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust (ILIT)

13. How Does It Work ►Establish Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust (ILIT) ►ILIT Purchases Life Insurance on Client and/or Spouse - ILIT Is Owner & Beneficiary of Policy ►Client Receives Funds from IRA & Makes Gifts to ILIT Using Annual Gift Tax Exclusion or Lifetime Exemption ●“Gross Up” Distributions for Income Tax ►ILIT Pays Policy Premiums, Receives Death Proceeds & Distributes Funds to ILIT Beneficiary(s)

14. Advantages ►Reduces Amount of “Double Tax” Retirement Asset & Creates Income Tax-Free & Estate Tax-Free Life Insurance Proceeds ►Life Insurance Cash Values Grow Tax-Deferred & Can Be Accessed Income Tax-Free for Lifetime Distributions to ILIT Beneficiary(s) ►Policy Death Benefits Provide Estate Liquidity for Taxes, Debts, and Estate Settlement Costs ►Effective Use of Annual Gift Tax Exclusion and/or Lifetime Exemption
