Gift-Replacement Life Insurance
(Complete gift description)

You're impressed by the benefits of a life-income gift: a donation that significantly helps K-LOVE while also paying income back to you; and saves on income and capital gains taxes.

The problem? Taking an asset out of your portfolio to fund a life-income gift could jeopardize the financial benefit your children or heirs are counting on from your estate. A life-income gift will help you, but what will its effects be on them?

There is a solution. Use the income you will receive from your life-income gift which will, in many cases, surpass the yield on the assets you donated and tax savings from the charitable deduction, to pay the premiums on a gift-replacement life insurance policy benefiting your heirs. Set the death benefit of the policy at an amount equal to the value of the assets you contributed to K-LOVE (or a larger sum reflecting how those assets would have grown in value).

At your death, K-LOVE will receive the remaining balance in your life-income gift. Your heirs will receive the proceeds of the life insurance policy. The result? You've done what you thought you couldn't do – make a substantial gift to K-LOVE and also fully provide for your heirs in your estate.
