Principal
- Looking for Cost Recovery of Premiums?. Principal is one of the few companies that still has DBO 3 Return of Premium at Death on our GUL, UL Flex, UL Accumulation, IUL Flex and IUL Accumulation product. Not only does it allow for 100% cost recovery upon death, it also eliminates the potential at older ages when combined premiums may exceed the death benefit. And when compared to term, the net cash outlay may be positive with cost recovery of premiums at death. Reach out for an illustration or to discuss how to utilize DBO 3 on your cases. Additional success stories using DBO 3 include:
- Single Life Estate Tax Issue - premium is gifted into a trust and upon death the trust is made whole with premium recovered both income tax free and estate tax free.
- Required Minimum Distributions - Use RMD’s net of taxes to purchase a life insurance policy and guarantee 100% cost recovery upon death.
- Buy-Sell - where one owner is not as healthy and/or is significantly older; this allows the business to be reimbursed for the cost of insurance
- Cross Purchase - the corporation or business partner can recoup premiums and still have funds for the buyout.
- Key Person - if the key person were to die while employed, the corporation has 100% cost recovery.
