[Senior Planet] Life Insurance: Forgotten Financial Tool
Life insurance should be a key component of your financial plan, especially for retirees and pre-retirees. For very specific goals and needs, it can be the best tool to use. It can provide tax-free income for your children and grandchildren, replacement income in the event of the death of a spouse, be an additional source of retirement income for high-net worth individuals and even help your heirs pay estate taxes.
