ANALYZE YOUR NEEDS TO PREPARE YOUR LEGACY

First of all, what does it mean to build a legacy? It simply refers to a technique used to maximize the value of a share one’s wealth that you plan on not using during your lifetime.

It is in the form of a guaranteed investment, tax-free, that this strategy is presented. Thus, funds can be set aside for the next generation or for a charitable cause.

Many people keep some of their assets that they plan to leave as a legacy and don’t plan to use.

But why do some people decide to build a personal legacy?

If you have the right profile, building a personal legacy allows you to:

• Bequeath an amount, tax-free, upon your death;
• Protect these funds from creditors, both yours and that of your beneficiaries;
• Increase the value of your legacy at the time of your death;
• Reduce the cost and length of time for the estate in favor of designated beneficiaries ;
• To increase the value of the funds you intend to bequeath, out of reach of taxes based on the law in force.

In addition to providing a significant legacy to your heirs, life insurance can also help you to achieve your dreams and goals.

Whether you dream of traveling around the world or plan to build a house from the sweat of your brow, these are projects that require cash.

You will see an example below of how much a life insurance policy can significantly increase your legacy.

What is life insurance or investment to prepare your estate?

Due to the tax regulations on life insurance, it is possible to leave a substantial amount of money to your estate as well as amend clauses designating beneficiaries in usufruct (the right to enjoy something belonging to another) or those in bare ownership (the right to keep something).

When it comes to alternative investments, they gain interest over the long term as the legacy is built gradually as you invest your funds and accumulate interest.

Here is a demonstration of how building a personal legacy with life insurance and alternative investment can be done

To help you better understand the significant advantage that an alternative investment or life insurance for building personal wealth can give, we present a table below.

All figures shown in this table are based on the example of a 33-year old male, non-smoker.

The example below is based on participating life insurance for a coverage of $1 Million with deposits distributed over a period of 8 years.

Regarding the posted figures of the alternative investment, they are based on a 4% interest rate per year, with 40% tax and a 100% interest rate growth.
