Life Insurance
The gift of a life insurance policy is a contribution made by naming an entity of your choice as the beneficiary of your policy or transferring the ownership of your policy.
Retirement Plan
The gift of a retirement plan is made by naming an entity as beneficiary of a retirement asset in your overall estate plan. Beneficiaries can be designated for the total or a portion of your retirement assets.
