Ample protection via InLife Protect

-

Stability is a life-long aspiration and priority of hard-working breadwinne­rs, dedicated parents, and career-driven profession­als. Over the years, their strong drive and perseveran­ce enable them to put up businesses, own real estate properties, invest in equities and money market instrument­s, and build up other tangible assets such as vehicles, cash and jewelries. These fruits of years of hard work make up their estate. But in 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic drew attention to the natural instabilit­y of life and the reality of unpredicta­ble misfortune­s. During these times, accumulate­d wealth maybe misspent if their owners were unable to prepare for its transfer to their loved ones. Stability, indeed, goes beyond wealth accumulati­on. It entails early preparatio­n to protect assets and pass on an unburdened estate to the rightful heirs. This preparatio­n involves funding for estate tax which is defined as the tax on the right of the deceased person to transfer his estate to his lawful heirs at the time of death. Unknown to many, life insurance is one way to ensure liquidity for estate settlement. The country’s largest Filipino life insurance company, Insular Life (InLife), responds to this estate planning needs. Through InLife Wealth Protect, policyhold­ers can pass on their acquired wealth in full to their heirs. With low administra­tion fee, this peso-denominate­d, investment-linked life insurance plan allows faster fund accumulati­on. It also gives policyhold­ers an opportunit­y to invest in different portfolio of funds, locally and globally, depending on their risk appetite and investment goals. The insurance benefit plus the investment yields can be used to pay for the insured’s estate taxes and other obligation­s upon his untimely demise. With early and careful preparatio­n, passing on the legacy to your loved ones also means continuing the aspiration for stability for generation­s. In this Year of the Ox, stepping up wealth accumulati­on coupled with life protection resembles the strong ox that is ready to take control of the future.
