Gross invested proceeds are used at maturity (i.e. 10, 20 years) to re-pay premium loan. ■Must have systematic savings plan for sinking fund to work. ■Income earned on the sinking fund assets is income taxable to the owner of the assets (i.e. the policy owner). ■Not used that often due to income taxes.

Exit Strategies GRAT (Grantor Retained Annuity Trust) ■Assets are gifted to the trust with the Grantor retaining a right to income for a specified period of time. ■The remainder interest is a gift by the Grantor and used to repay financed premiums when the remainder interest vests in the ILIT. ■Remainder interest is valued as a gift at the time of the transfer and it vests at the end of the GRAT term (e.g. 10 years). ■If a generation skipping ILIT is used and GST is being allocated to the ILIT, the value of the GST exemption allocated is determined at the end of the GRAT term.

A charity receives income on assets based on a specified period of years. ■At the end of the lead term, the remainder interest vests in the ILIT. When the remainder interest vests, the ILIT can use the assets to pay off the financed premiums. ■The value of the lead interest is tax deductible as a charitable gift under §170 of the IRC. ■The value of the remainder interest is a gift to the ILIT at the time of the transfer to the CLAT. ■If a generation skipping ILIT is used and the GST exemption is being allocated to the ILIT, a CLUT is preferred over a CLAT due to valuation reasons.

Exit Strategies GRUT (Grantor Retained Unitrust) ■ Grantor gifts assets to a trust and retains a right to annual income for life based on a percentage of assets (i.e. 6% of assets). ■As assets grow, income increases to the Grantor. ■At death of Grantor, assets vest in the remainder which is an ILIT. ILIT can use the assets to payoff the financed premiums. ■A gift of the remainder interest is made to the ILIT at the time of the transfer of assets to the trust. ■If a generation skipping ILIT is used and GST is being allocated to the ILIT, the value of the GST exemption allocated is determined at the end of the GRUT term.
