Percentage of U.S. Household Owning Life Insurance Declining According to Limra, an industry-funded research organization, the percentage of U.S. households owing life insurance is declining due to: 1. Tight household budgets as the economy struggles 2. Loss of employer-provided coverage as a result of layoffs 3. Cutbacks by some employers in their benefit packages www.skloff.com

Consult With a Licensed Insurance Professional Establishing life insurance immediately reduces the financial and psychological burdens that can cause hardship when the need for the proceeds arrives. If your life insurance is owned by an Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust (ILIT) it is exempt from estate taxes. Like most insurance, the earlier you start your policy the lower the cost of the policy. Consult with a licensed insurance professional to gain an understanding of all your options. www.skloff.com
