2. Wealth Transfer & Estate Planningwith 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 Taxationof 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 Will the Federal Estate Tax Be Repealed?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. And the Answer Is . . . SNOWBALL

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
