The TOLI Handbook
The TOLI Handbook will help you answer tough questions such as:
- What is more important when a trustee makes a decision about a policy, the outcome or the process?
- When should a TOLI trustee consider selling a life insurance policy?
- What is one of the biggest mistake trustees make with term life insurance?

Sometimes the worst decisions we make are made because of two reasons – first, they are easy to make and second, the decision does not cost us anything – we can make that decision without incurring a cost. Nowhere is this more evident than in the naming of a trustee for your ILIT.

What to Do With An Unwanted Life Insurance Policy
With the estate tax law changes of the last few years, the need for a life insurance policy held in trust has diminished for some – or at least that is what many TOLI trustee clients believe. TOLI trustees must always manage the asset to maximize the benefit to the beneficiary or subject themselves to fiduciary liability. How to do that will be the focus of this session, as we will explore prudent alternatives and develop a process around analyzing options on an asset that could be worth millions. We will provide actual real-life case examples in a session workbook that attendees can use for future reference. Life insurance policy advisors and trustees attending this session will be provided with vital information designed to increase client service and minimize their liability.
