An Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust (ILIT) is a planning tool many clients use to remove life insurance proceeds from an estate, provide liquidity at death, and control how insurance benefits are distributed to beneficiaries. At the Law Offices of Robert P. Bergman we help individuals in East Los Angeles evaluate whether an ILIT fits within a broader estate plan. This initial overview explains what an ILIT does, who typically uses one, and the general mechanics for funding and maintaining the trust so proceeds pass according to your wishes while addressing potential estate tax exposure.
Deciding to place a life insurance policy outside your estate involves tradeoffs, including giving up certain ownership rights in exchange for potential estate tax and creditor protections. Our approach is to review your existing policies, family circumstances, and financial objectives before recommending an ownership and funding strategy that aligns with your plan. We also coordinate the drafting of trust documents, beneficiary designations, pour-over wills, and notices required to preserve the intended tax treatment and ensure clarity for trustees and beneficiaries.
An ILIT can provide several important benefits for families and estates. By transferring a policy into an irrevocable trust and following required procedures, insurance proceeds can be excluded from the grantor’s taxable estate, potentially reducing estate tax liability and preserving more wealth for beneficiaries. The trust structure also allows for clear distribution instructions, the appointment of a trustee to manage funds, and safeguards so proceeds are directed to creditors, dependents, or specific uses such as education or care. Properly drafted ILITs can also create liquidity that helps settle taxes and expenses without forcing asset sales.

An ILIT is a trust that holds life insurance policies for the benefit of named beneficiaries and is drafted so the policy proceeds are not included in the grantor’s estate for tax purposes. Once the trust owns the policy, the grantor typically cannot directly change the policy or its beneficiary without potential tax consequences, which is why the trust is described as irrevocable. The trust document identifies a trustee to manage the policy, collect proceeds, and distribute funds according to the terms you set. This arrangement gives the grantor a way to provide protected benefits while limiting estate inclusion.
Funding an ILIT generally involves either transferring ownership of an existing policy into the trust or having the trust apply for and own a new policy. When funding by transfer, practitioners pay careful attention to timing rules, notice requirements, and premium payment arrangements to preserve favorable treatment. Trustees and beneficiaries may receive formal notices when gifts are made to the trust so that beneficiaries can exercise limited withdrawal rights where needed. Understanding these procedural steps is essential to achieving the intended tax and distribution results.
An Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust is a legally binding document that owns life insurance policies and controls how the death benefit is handled after the insured dies. The grantor creates the trust and transfers ownership of a policy to the trust; the trustee then holds the policy on behalf of beneficiaries named in the trust. Because the trust is irrevocable, the grantor generally cannot regain ownership or unilaterally change beneficiaries without triggering potential tax consequences. The combination of ownership by the trust and adherence to formal notice and gifting procedures is what allows proceeds to be kept out of the taxable estate in many cases.
Key elements of an ILIT include the grantor who creates the trust, the trustee who holds and administers the policy, the trust document that specifies distribution terms, and the beneficiaries who will receive trust assets. Important processes include drafting the trust language, transferring policy ownership to the trust or issuing a new policy in the trust’s name, making gift contributions to fund premiums, and issuing any legally required notices to beneficiaries. Attention to formalities like the timing of transfers and premium payments is necessary to preserve the intended tax treatment and to avoid unintended estate inclusion.
Understanding a handful of technical terms makes it easier to implement and maintain an ILIT. This glossary highlights concepts you will encounter when establishing a trust and working with trustees, insurers, and advisors. Terms include the grantor, trustee, beneficiary, Crummey notice, and lookback rules related to gifts of life insurance. Becoming familiar with these concepts helps ensure the trust is funded correctly, the policy ownership is clear, and the administrative steps required to preserve the intended benefits are completed on schedule.
The grantor is the person who creates the trust and typically funds it by transferring assets or by directing gifts to pay trust premiums. In an ILIT, the grantor is often the insured or a person arranging insurance to benefit others. Once the grantor transfers a policy into an irrevocable trust, the grantor usually gives up direct ownership and certain controls over that policy. The grantor’s decisions concerning the selection of trustees, beneficiaries, and distribution terms are recorded in the trust documents to express their intentions for how insurance proceeds should be used after death.
A Crummey provision refers to a clause and related notice procedure that gives trust beneficiaries a short-term right to withdraw contributions to the trust, which helps gifts to the trust qualify as present interest gifts for gift tax exclusion purposes. Practically, when the grantor makes a gift to cover premiums, beneficiaries are given written notice of their limited withdrawal right for a defined period before those funds are used for premiums. Proper implementation of Crummey notices is a routine administrative step to preserve the annual gift tax exclusion and support the intended tax treatment of premium gifts.
A trustee is the individual or institution appointed to hold the insurance policy, manage trust assets, pay premiums when the trust is funded, and distribute proceeds according to the trust terms after the insured’s death. Trustees have fiduciary duties under California law to act in the beneficiaries’ best interests and to follow the trust instrument. Selecting a trustee with the judgment and capacity to carry out these duties is important because the trustee will make decisions about investments, communications with beneficiaries, and coordination with insurers when a claim arises.
The three-year rule refers to the federal rule that can cause a life insurance policy to be included in the insured’s estate if the insured transfers an existing policy to another person or trust and then dies within three years of the transfer. This lookback period is intended to prevent late transfers designed solely to avoid estate inclusion. When considering placing an existing policy into an ILIT, it is important to review timing and alternatives, including insuring the insured with a new policy owned by the trust or planning for the implications of the three-year window.
There are several ways to hold life insurance: in your individual name, in a revocable trust, or in an irrevocable trust. When a policy remains personally owned, the proceeds may be included in the decedent’s estate for tax and creditor claims, though ownership retains maximum flexibility. A revocable trust keeps assets titled in trust while the grantor is alive and offers flexibility but usually does not avoid estate inclusion for insurance owned by the grantor. An ILIT, by contrast, is designed to remove the policy from the taxable estate, which is appropriate when minimizing estate inclusion outweighs the loss of direct ownership rights.
A limited approach, such as retaining personal ownership of a modest life insurance policy, may be suitable for individuals whose estates fall well below federal and state estate tax thresholds and who prioritize flexibility over tax planning. If the primary concern is simple beneficiary replacement of income or paying final expenses, the additional complexity and administrative tasks associated with an ILIT may not be necessary. In those situations, maintaining simpler beneficiary arrangements and ensuring clear documentation can provide adequate protection without creating a formal trust structure.
A limited approach can also be appropriate for short-term or transitional insurance needs, such as temporary coverage during a mortgage payoff period or short-term business obligations. When coverage is expected to end or be replaced in a few years, creating an irrevocable trust may add unnecessary permanence and administrative work. For temporary needs, a straightforward policy held in an individual’s name with regular review of beneficiary designations and alignment with the estate plan often provides the needed protection while keeping future options open.
A coordinated trust approach is often advisable when preserving estate value and managing tax exposure are important goals. Creating an ILIT alongside complementary documents such as a pour-over will, revocable living trust, power of attorney, and healthcare directive provides a unified plan for asset management, incapacity planning, and distribution at death. Coordination also helps ensure that beneficiary designations, retirement plans, and insurance ownership all work together to achieve the desired outcome, reducing the risk of unintended estate inclusion or disputes among heirs.
Comprehensive planning includes not only initial drafting but also ongoing administration to maintain the trust’s benefits over time. This can include preparing and sending required notices to beneficiaries, documenting premium gifts, coordinating premium payments through the trustee, and updating documents when family or financial circumstances change. A firm that assists with these administrative steps can help reduce the risk that simple oversights jeopardize the trust’s intended tax treatment or complicate distributions when a claim arises.
A comprehensive ILIT approach offers coordinated protection for life insurance proceeds alongside the rest of an estate plan. By aligning insurance ownership with trusts, wills, powers of attorney, and health care directives, clients can create a clear roadmap for how assets will be used and distributed. This coordination helps ensure that insurance proceeds are available to pay taxes, debts, or specific expenses without forcing the sale of business interests or property, providing practical liquidity at a time when beneficiaries may otherwise face difficult decisions.
Comprehensive planning also aids in reducing family conflict and easing administration after death. Clear trust provisions and trustee instructions provide guidance for distributions and for uses such as educational support, care for dependents, or continued management for beneficiaries who may not be ready to receive large sums. In addition, ongoing review of the plan allows adaptations to changing laws, family circumstances, and financial realities, helping preserve the intended benefits of the ILIT over time.
One of the principal benefits of an ILIT is the potential exclusion of life insurance proceeds from the grantor’s taxable estate, which can reduce estate taxes for larger estates. At the same time, life insurance proceeds held in trust create liquidity that can be used to pay estate taxes, administration costs, or debts without requiring the sale of illiquid assets. That liquidity provides practical relief for families who may otherwise need to sell a business interest or property at an inopportune time to raise cash for settlement costs.
An ILIT allows the grantor to control how proceeds are used and when beneficiaries receive funds, protecting inheritances from creditors, divorce settlements, or poor spending decisions in many cases. The trust document can include specific distribution standards, staged distributions over time, or uses tied to education and health needs. These terms provide both flexibility and protection so proceeds can support beneficiaries in durable and predefined ways rather than passing as an outright lump sum with no restrictions.
Begin discussing an ILIT well before you need it so you have time to evaluate policy ownership options, the three-year lookback considerations, and funding mechanisms. Early planning lets you choose whether to transfer an existing policy or arrange for a new policy issued in the trust’s name, and it provides time to put premium funding and beneficiary notices in place. Waiting until late in life may limit your options and may cause certain transfers to remain within the taxable estate, so starting early supports careful implementation.
Keep thorough documentation of transfers, gifts to fund premiums, and any beneficiary notices required by the trust instrument. If your ILIT relies on Crummey withdrawal rights to qualify for the annual gift exclusion, timely written notices are part of the compliance regimen. A consistent record-keeping practice makes trust administration smoother, clarifies premium funding sources for tax purposes, and provides evidence that procedural steps were followed should questions arise after the insured’s death.
You should consider an ILIT if your financial goals include reducing potential estate tax exposure, preserving family wealth for future generations, or ensuring that insurance proceeds are used in a controlled manner rather than passing directly to heirs. An ILIT can be particularly helpful when estate liquidity is needed to pay taxes or debts, when there is a desire to protect proceeds from creditor claims, or when the grantor wants to set conditions on distributions. Reviewing your overall estate plan helps determine if an ILIT aligns with your objectives.
An ILIT is also worth considering when you hold substantial life insurance in your personal name or when business interests, real estate, and retirement accounts could create estate tax exposure. Even if you do not face immediate tax issues, an ILIT may provide clarity and continuity by naming trustees to manage proceeds and by documenting your intentions for how benefits should be used. Planning ahead reduces the risk of administrative headaches and family disputes at a difficult time.
Several situations commonly lead clients to consider an ILIT. These include significant life insurance holdings that would otherwise increase estate value, a desire to fund estate tax liabilities without selling assets, the need to provide for minor children or beneficiaries who require structured distributions, and business succession scenarios in which liquidity is needed for buyouts or tax payments. In each case, the trust’s terms can be tailored to reflect family needs and financial priorities.
When estate size approaches or exceeds thresholds that could trigger estate taxes, an ILIT can be an effective device for removing life insurance from the taxable estate and providing cash to pay those taxes. This planning technique requires careful timing and documentation to ensure transfers and premium funding are handled in a way that supports the desired tax treatment. Consulting early provides time to consider alternatives, structure flows correctly, and coordinate insurance ownership with other estate planning steps.
Clients concerned about protecting benefits from creditor claims or adverse marital claims often choose an ILIT to maintain a layer of protection between proceeds and outside claims. The trust can include distribution controls that limit beneficiary access and preserve funds for intended uses. While no plan eliminates all risk, a properly drafted trust administered according to its terms increases the likelihood that proceeds will be used for beneficiaries rather than being subject to creditor collection or division through legal proceedings.
Life insurance proceeds in an ILIT can provide immediate liquidity to pay estate administration costs, taxes, and other obligations when other estate assets are illiquid. This prevents forced sales of family businesses or real estate at an inopportune time and helps beneficiaries avoid short-term financial strain. Structuring the trust to prioritize certain uses or to stage distributions offers practical solutions for estates that include non-liquid assets needing time for orderly settlement.

Clients choose our firm for practical, client-centered estate planning that integrates insurance planning with broader financial goals. We focus on careful document drafting and administrative guidance that helps accomplish intended tax and distribution objectives. Our process is designed to identify potential pitfalls early, coordinate with insurers and advisors where needed, and explain the steps involved in plain language so clients and trustees understand their roles and responsibilities throughout the life of the trust.
We handle related estate planning documents such as revocable living trusts, pour-over wills, powers of attorney, advance health care directives, and trust funding forms that often accompany an ILIT. That holistic approach helps ensure that beneficiary designations, retirement accounts, and estate administration plans work together. We also assist with trust administration issues that arise after death, including claims processing, distributions, and coordination with executors and personal representatives.
Our aim is to provide responsive communication and practical solutions tailored to your circumstances, whether you are considering placing an existing policy into trust or arranging new coverage owned by the trust. To begin, we offer an initial review of documents and policies to identify the most appropriate path forward. For East Los Angeles clients, we provide clear guidance and support throughout the drafting and funding stages and remain available for ongoing administration questions.
Our process begins with a careful review of your estate plan, financial assets, and existing insurance policies to determine whether an ILIT meets your objectives. We then prepare trust documents tailored to your distribution wishes, coordinate policy ownership transfers or new policy issuance, and advise on premium funding and required notices. After the trust is established, we provide guidance on trustee duties, record-keeping, and ongoing steps to preserve the trust’s intended benefits and ensure smooth administration when a claim arises.
In the first phase we collect information about your policies, beneficiaries, family situation, and financial goals. We review existing estate planning documents, life insurance ownership records, and beneficiary designations to identify gaps or conflicts. This review helps determine whether transferring a policy into trust or issuing a new policy in the trust’s name is preferable. We also discuss funding strategies for premiums and outline the duties a trustee will assume once the trust is established.
We examine each life insurance policy to confirm current ownership, beneficiary designations, in-force provisions, and surrender values. That review identifies whether a transfer could trigger the three-year lookback or whether a new policy owned by the trust would better meet estate planning goals. Understanding the contractual terms and carrier requirements also allows us to plan the transfer process, complete appropriate forms, and coordinate with insurers to ensure the trust is properly recorded as owner.
During the initial planning stage we help clients select trustees and specify how proceeds should be used, such as for income replacement, education, or long-term care funding for beneficiaries. We also outline a funding plan for paying premiums, which may involve annual gifts to the trust or other funding arrangements. Early clarity about beneficiaries and funding reduces the risk of disputes and helps ensure that necessary administrative steps like Crummey notices are incorporated into the plan.
Once the plan is chosen, we draft the trust agreement and related documents, including any pour-over will and supporting trust funding instruments. If transferring an existing policy, we prepare the required assignment and beneficiary change paperwork and coordinate with the insurer. If a new policy is desired, we work with the applicant and carrier so the trust is approved as the owner from the outset. We also prepare documentation for premium gifts and beneficiary notices to preserve intended tax treatment.
Drafting includes clear instructions for distributions, trustee powers, and contingencies for successor trustees and beneficiaries. We also prepare complementary documents such as pour-over wills, powers of attorney, and advance health care directives to create a cohesive estate plan. Well-drafted documents reduce the chance of future disputes and ensure trustees have the authority and guidance they need to implement the grantor’s intentions when handling the policy proceeds.
This step involves completing insurer forms for assignment, beneficiary designation changes, or placing a new policy with the trust as owner. We confirm carrier requirements and follow procedures to avoid lapses or unintended consequences. If transferring a policy, we discuss the three-year rule and plan funding accordingly. Our coordination reduces administrative friction and helps ensure the policy is recognized as trust property for management and claim purposes.
After the ILIT is funded, ongoing administration matters include managing premium funding, sending any required Crummey notices to beneficiaries, maintaining trust records, and advising trustees on investments and distributions. Periodic reviews are recommended to reflect changes in family circumstances, tax law, or insurance needs. Proper maintenance ensures the trust continues to function as intended and that trustees are prepared to act promptly when a claim arises.
Trustees may need assistance tracking gifts used to pay premiums, documenting notices provided to beneficiaries, and coordinating premium transfers with the insurer. Accurate record-keeping supports the trust’s tax position and provides clarity for beneficiaries. We provide templates and checklists trustees can use to maintain records, and we consult on how to document contributions so future administrators understand the source and purpose of funds used for premium payments.
When the insured dies, trustees must file claims with the insurer, collect proceeds, and carry out distributions per the trust terms. They may also need to coordinate with the estate’s personal representative and provide liquidity to pay estate obligations if directed by the plan. We assist trustees with the claim process, advise on tax reporting related to proceeds, and help implement distributions that reflect the grantor’s instructions while meeting legal and fiduciary obligations.
An Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust is a trust created to hold life insurance policies for the benefit of named beneficiaries under terms specified by the grantor. When a policy is placed in an irrevocable trust, the trust becomes the legal owner and beneficiary of the policy or the policy is issued directly in the trust’s name. Because the trust is irrevocable, the grantor generally relinquishes direct ownership and certain rights in the policy in exchange for the potential estate and creditor protections that the trust structure can provide. The trust document directs how proceeds are to be handled after the insured’s death, including who receives distributions and under what conditions. Trustees manage premium payments if the trust is funded for that purpose, issue any required beneficiary notices, and file insurance claims at death. Properly structured transfers and administration are essential to achieving the intended tax results and ensuring the proceeds are used as intended for beneficiaries.
Transferring a policy into an ILIT typically reduces the grantor’s direct control over the policy because the trust becomes the legal owner and the trustee manages the policy and proceeds. The trust instrument will assign specific powers to the trustee, such as the ability to pay premiums, change investments held by the trust, and distribute proceeds. While the grantor can set clear instructions and choose trustees carefully, the irrevocable nature of the trust means the grantor usually cannot unilaterally change ownership or beneficiary designations without consequences. Because control changes are part of the tradeoff, it is important to plan the trust terms and select a trustee who will follow your intentions. Some clients mitigate concerns by appointing a trusted family member, friend, or corporate trustee and by including detailed guidance in the trust document about distributions and trustee powers, ensuring the trustee has clear authority to implement the grantor’s wishes when needed.
The three-year lookback rule is a federal tax provision that can cause a life insurance policy to be included in the insured’s estate if the insured transfers an existing policy to another owner and dies within three years of that transfer. The rule is designed to prevent last-minute transfers intended solely to avoid estate inclusion and applies to transfers of ownership rather than new policies issued to a trust. If you transfer an existing policy into a trust and die within the three-year window, proceeds may be included in your taxable estate. To address this rule, planners often consider issuing a new policy in the trust’s name when timing is a concern, or they work with clients to plan transfers well in advance so the lookback period expires before death. Evaluating the tradeoffs between transferring existing coverage and obtaining new trust-owned coverage is a common part of the planning conversation.
Crummey notices are written notifications given to beneficiaries of an ILIT when a contribution is made to the trust that is intended to qualify for the annual gift tax exclusion. The notice informs beneficiaries of a limited right to withdraw the contribution for a short period, creating a present interest for gift tax purposes. When properly used, Crummey notices help ensure that gifts used to fund premiums qualify for the annual exclusion and are not treated as taxable gifts beyond the exclusion amount. Issuing and documenting Crummey notices is an administrative requirement that must be handled consistently. Trustees should keep records of notices and any beneficiary responses, even if withdrawal rights are not exercised. Proper documentation supports the tax treatment of premium gifts and reduces the risk of challenges to the exclusion position.
An ILIT can offer a level of protection for policy proceeds from certain creditor claims and marital division, because the trust owns the policy and the terms of the trust can limit beneficiary access to funds. When proceeds are paid into a properly structured trust, those funds are typically managed and distributed according to the trust document rather than being available directly to beneficiaries for creditor attachment. That said, the level of protection depends on trust terms, timing of transfers, and applicable state law, so outcomes can vary. Trustees and grantors should be mindful of circumstances that could affect protection, such as transfers made to defeat known creditors or clear violations of legal obligations. To maximize protection, planning should be completed in advance, use appropriate document language, and follow proper administrative steps so the trust’s structure and timing do not create vulnerabilities to creditor claims or challenges during divorce proceedings.
Choosing between transferring an existing policy and having the trust buy a new policy depends on timing, policy terms, and financial considerations. Transferring an existing policy may be practical when the policy has favorable terms and transferring does not trigger adverse tax consequences, but the three-year lookback rule must be considered. A new policy issued in the trust’s name avoids the lookback issue and establishes trust ownership from inception, though underwriting, costs, and insurability are factors to weigh when selecting this route. A thoughtful review of policy values, premiums, surrender charges, insurability, and the timing of the transfer will determine the best approach. We typically analyze both options, including projected premium funding needs and the effects on the overall estate plan, before recommending the path that aligns with the client’s goals and circumstances.
Selecting a trustee for an ILIT is an important decision because the trustee will manage the policy, pay premiums when appropriate, and distribute proceeds according to the trust document. Many clients choose a trusted family member or friend as trustee for clarity and potential cost savings. Others elect a corporate or professional trustee for longevity, administrative capacity, and impartiality in handling complex distributions and interactions with financial institutions. The choice depends on the complexity of the trust, the anticipated administration needs, and the desired balance between cost and professional support. When naming a trustee, consider naming successor trustees and specifying the trustee’s powers and compensation. Clear instructions in the trust document regarding distribution standards, record-keeping, and communications with beneficiaries reduce the likelihood of disputes and provide practical guidance so trustees can fulfill their duties effectively in handling the policy and proceeds.
An ILIT is typically implemented alongside other estate planning documents to form a cohesive plan. Common companion documents include a revocable living trust or pour-over will, powers of attorney for financial matters, advance health care directives, and certification of trust documentation used to verify trustees’ authority to third parties. These documents ensure that your broader estate plan provides for incapacity, asset management, and the disposition of property not governed by the ILIT, offering a comprehensive framework for administration at death or incapacity. Additionally, trust funding documents such as assignments of assets to trust and notifications to insurers are often necessary to effectuate ownership changes. Ensuring beneficiary designations on retirement accounts and insurance policies are coordinated with trust provisions helps avoid conflicts and unintended results. A coordinated review of all documents is an essential part of implementing an ILIT successfully.
After a trust owns a policy, premium payments are typically funded by gifts to the trust from the grantor or by using trust assets that were previously funded. Where gifts are used, beneficiaries may receive Crummey notices so the gifts qualify for the annual gift tax exclusion. The trustee is responsible for managing trust funds, paying premiums timely, and documenting the source of premium payments to preserve tax and trust objectives. Clear funding procedures help sustain the policy and avoid lapses that could undermine the plan. Some clients set up regular transfers or funding arrangements to make premium payments predictable and properly documented. Trustees should maintain accurate records of gifts, notices, and payments and coordinate with the insurer to ensure the policy remains in force. If the trust lacks sufficient assets for premiums over time, alternate funding strategies may be needed, and periodic plan review helps identify potential shortfalls early.
When the insured dies, the trustee files a claim with the insurance company and collects the death benefit for the trust. The trustee then administers the proceeds according to the distribution provisions in the trust document, which may include immediate distributions for debts or taxes, staged distributions to beneficiaries, or funds held for specific purposes like education or care. Trustees must follow any fiduciary standards in the trust and keep beneficiaries informed of status and timing for distributions. Trust administration may require coordination with the estate’s personal representative if other estate assets need attention or if the trust funds are needed to pay estate expenses. Trustees should also maintain tax records and consult regarding any reporting obligations. Having clear trust language and documented procedures simplifies administration and helps ensure proceeds are used in accord with the grantor’s intentions.
