Planning Ahead




Funeral arrangements
are one of the realities of life...
and one of the most neglected areas of financial planning.  
Studies have shown that families who have not pre-planned often
spend more for the funeral event
of a loved one.  Facing the reality of a death in the family and
making plans on how to handle it can be one of the best
restraints from an emotionally charged financial decision that will
be made.
1. An Irrevocably Assigned Insured plan    
2.  A Trust plan                                             
The key  to this is being  irrevocably assigned  
and  tied to a specific  funeral provider,
who  in  turn  guarantees the  plan and  future  costs.
Sometimes,  final  expense plans   are  not  irrevocably
assigned, and  guarantee nothing.
Basic  life  insurance  that  is  not irrevocably assigned  is
considered  an  asset   and  can be subject to  tax  liabilities.
Money   invested  in  Trust  plans  are
controlled  by  the
funeral  provider
 that  has   been assigned, and  allows that
provider to retain certain fees should  you   decide  to  change
your  mind  or  change funeral   providers.
Money invested  in insured, irrevocably  assigned  plans
are
controlled  by YOU,   the insured,
are mobile and secure,
with guaranteed payout amounts.

There are many rules, regulations and licenses
regarding funded pre-arranged funerals
