Insurance Planning and Brokerage

At PFG, we understand the ever-changing nature of legislation and know how to coordinate insurance with estate planning. We provide advanced planning techniques and scrupulous carrier selection to fulfill clients' insurance needs for both protection and value.

Life insurance is typically used for two things: to replace income in the event of a premature death or to preserve one's estate upon death. PFG helps clients identify whether they have short- or long-term life and disability insurance needs.

For most of our clients, we believe insurance needs are long-term; policies can provide income replacement in the earlier years and preservation of the estate in the later years. When structured properly, life insurance policies are income and estate tax free. Clients' heirs can use life insurance income to pay estate taxes, instead of liquidating the estate to satisfy the IRS.
