The Opportunity with Funeral Expense & Estate Planning Trusts

                   info@lifestepslive.com

"If—God forbid—you suddenly died today, what plan is in place to pay for the funeral or cremation and burial or memorial services your family will want to arrange?”

 

Chances are you’ve helped many families plan to pay for several significant life steps—weddings, college educations and retirement. Chances are you’ve helped them save, invest and protect assets so that money is there when they need it. You’ve even sold life insurance to protect the young family from financial devastation in the event of an untimely death. However, unless you are a Final Expense expert or a Funeral “Preneed” Advisor, you may never have asked a client or prospect the specific type of question highlighted above.

Thanks for stopping by this page to investigate the benefits of the AssetGuard Plan; the insurance-funded Trusts from National Guardian Life Ins. Co., Inc (NGL).

Additional Benefits to Your Clients and Prospects


The average American’s estate at the time of death comes up short of having the “liquidity” needed to pay a funeral home and cemetery (Expenses which can easily run $10,000 - $12,000 combined) at the time arrangements are made. Either of the AssetGuard Trusts will distribute the funds to these service providers within 48 hours of claim—even without having to wait for a death certificate!

What’s more: these plans can be used at any funeral home or cemetery in the United States; they are “perfectly portable” and do not require the client to be “locked in” at a specific, local, funeral business.

The unique blending of life insurance, trust and annuity features provides an increasing death benefit and a tax-free distribution when needed.

Peace of Mind; families can focus on telling your client’s Life Story and the things that begin healthy grieving. The money will be there; thanks to you!
