Individual Insurance


We Help You Meet Your Goals and Protect Your Family

Dreams such as sending your child to college or traveling when you retire are common reasons for purchasing insurance. Providing for an aging parent, or making sure your family is cared for in the event of an injury or your death are also significant real life reasons to purchase insurance. No matter the reason - purchasing insurance can be a good way to meet your goals while still protecting the financial independence of your loved ones.

We Help You Plan and Protect Your Future

Most people understand the benefits of planning for the future, as well as the unexpected. Such efforts often uncover problems and frequently provide the motivation to make needed changes.

At IPS Advisors, we specialize in the following areas, geared toward addressing such efforts.

*Premium Financing is complex and involves many risks, such as the possibility of policy lapse, loss of collateral, interest rate and market uncertainty, and failure to re-qualify with the lender to keep the financing in place and maintain the desired level of insurance protection. In certain situations, additional out-of-pocket contributions may be required to retire the debt and/or maintain the desired level of insurance protection. A well planned exit strategy should be in place prior to accepting any financing arrangements.

Investors should consult with their own professional advisor regarding the potential tax, estate, and legal considerations that may arise in connection with entering into a life settlements transaction. Proceeds from a life settlement transaction may be taxable under federal or state law to the extent the proceeds exceed the cost basis. The proceeds from a life settlement transaction may be subject to claims of creditors. The receipt of proceeds from a life settlement transaction may adversely impact eligibility for government benefits and entitlements.  The amount received for the sale of the Policy may be impacted by the circumstances of the particular purchaser of the Policy, the insured’s life expectancy, future premiums, the death benefit, the terms of the Policy, and the current market for insurance policies, among other factors. The amount received for the sale of the Policy may be more or less than what others might receive for the sale of a similar policy. There may be high fees associated with the sell of a Life settlement.

To ensure compliance with requirements imposed by the IRS under Circular 230, we inform you that any U.S. Federal tax advice contained in this communication, unless otherwise specifically stated, was not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of (1) avoiding penalties under the Internal Revenue Code or (2) promoting, marketing, or recommending to another party any matters addressed herein.

Due to the relatively short period of time the life settlement market has existed, the market is currently loosely regulated and the number of bidders for any marketed policy may be limited. Prior to selling a policy, the insured should consider factors such as the continued need for insurance coverage, whether there are plans to replace the existing policy with another policy, how the sale of the policy will impact estate plans, and the availability of new insurance as well as the cost of comparable coverage. Where relevant, tax implications must also be taken into consideration.

Loans and withdrawals from insurance policies may generate an income tax liability, reduce available cash value and reduce the death benefit or cause the policy to lapse. Early withdrawals and other distributions of taxable amounts may be subject to ordinary income tax, a surrender charge, and if taken prior to age 59 ½, a 10% federal tax penalty may apply.

All guarantees are subject to the claims paying ability of the issuing insurance company.
