Frequently asked questions

 

A thorough estate plan can document the people and charities you want as beneficiaries and the specifics of what assets they will receive. Your Ameriprise advisor can help you with solutions that can help you plan and build the legacy you want to leave behind.

An estate plan can help ensure your savings are transferred to family and charitable organizations according to your wishes. Life insurance is just one asset that can pay out to these heirs upon death. By working with your financial advisor and your legal professional, you can set up a thorough estate plan that achieves the estate planning goals that are most tax- and cost-efficient.

Life insurance provides a death benefit to ease the financial burden for loved ones after you are gone. But certain types of permanent life insurance, also called cash value life insurance, offer living benefits, too. When funded appropriately, income tax-free cash value life insurance can work to help pay for larger purchases, such as starting a business, buying a second home or paying for a college education.
