Why High Net Worth Clients Should Consider Implementing Their Estate Plan Before the End Of 2020 Episode 96 - With an uncertain election coming up, our wealthy clients may feel little urgency in updating their estate plans. But the time to act is now. High net worth clients should consider implementing their estate plan before the end of 2020. More SML Planning Minute Podcast Episodes Transcript of Podcast Episode 96  Hello. This is Bill Rainaldi with another edition of Security Mutual's “SML Planning Minute.” In today's episode, why high-net-worth clients should consider implementing their estate plan before the end of 2020, an interview with Victor Ngai.   William F. Rainaldi, CFP®: Today we're going to be talking to our friend, Victor Ngai, who is Vice President of Advanced Markets at Security Mutual. Victor has been in the financial services business for over 25 years, preceded by 10 years in private practice as an attorney.  His focus is on supporting our insurance producers who work with their clients on various estate- and business-planning strategies. Before we start, please be aware that Victor cannot and will not be providing you with tax or legal advice. Our listeners must rely upon the advice and counsel of their own tax and legal advisors. Our topic will be a discussion on why high-net-worth clients should consider implementing their estate plans before the end of 2020. Welcome Victor. Victor Ngai, J.D., CLU®, ChFC®, RICP®: Thanks Bill. William F. Rainaldi, CFP®: Vic, let's get started. First, I think we need to define high-net-worth clients. Which of our clients are we talking about? Victor Ngai, J.D., CLU®, ChFC®, RICP®: Bill, I would say that any individual with a net worth over $3 million, or a married couple with a joint net worth of over $6 million, and not counting individually owned life insurance, to me that would qualify as a high-net-worth client for the purposes of this discussion. You know, the reason I included life insurance is because the death benefit of individually owned life insurance policies increases the gross estate subject to potential estate tax. William F. Rainaldi, CFP®: Okay, so why do you think it's important for our high-net-worth clients to get their estate planning done before the end of the year in 2020? Victor Ngai, J.D., CLU®, ChFC®, RICP®: Yeah. Well, we now live in an environment where the country is socially and politically divided, and we're in the midst of a worldwide pandemic where the U.S. government is spending trillions of dollars in an effort to stabilize the economy while supporting individuals and small businesses who have been financially severely and adversely impacted by the pandemic due to job layoffs and furloughs, closure of businesses, and medical expenses for those afflicted with the virus. I have recently read that the Congressional Budget Office is projecting a $3.3 trillion federal budget deficit for 2020. William F. Rainaldi, CFP®: Yeah. I'm not surprised. In the last seven months or so we have definitely been through some crazy and incredibly trying times, and I think that's for everybody. It wasn't until recently that I could even go to my favorite restaurant. Who would have ever thought we would be scrambling to find toilet paper? Victor Ngai, J.D., CLU®, ChFC®, RICP®: Crazy. Yeah, really crazy times, you know? The government must find a way to raise revenue and chip away at that deficit, and taxes is one of the best ways to do that. In this country the estate tax system is separate and apart from the income tax system. But a good estate plan will also consider income tax consequences, and we are just weeks away from a presidential election that has polarized the country, but from our viewpoint can have a dramatic effect on tax law.

Recently there have been some sensational articles in the media suggesting life insurance companies are facing tough times with the financial crisis combined with COVID-19.   Special guest Attorney Andrew Rinn, also the Vice President of Advanced Markets at Ameritas, joins us to share an inside perspective on what’s really happening at mutual life insurance companies right now. It is fascinating to hear how life insurance companies (especially mutual companies with strong cash positions and a low debt ratio) are in a position to obtain nice deals in the current bond market.   Underwriting procedures and virtual research have also been upgraded to minimize paramedic requirements for new policies. Life insurance guarantees are always important - never more so than during these times. It’s good to hear how mutual insurance companies like Ameritas are putting their policy holders first - keeping guarantees strong and recognizing liquidity needs through policy loans.   Thank you for sharing, Mr. Rinn!
