Good morning, 

I wanted to share a planning idea gaining traction with many families: the Generational Legacy Plan (GLP). It helps parents and grandparents redirect funds from taxable investments into a participating whole life policy on a child or grandchild, creating a long‑term, tax‑efficient legacy.

Key advantages for your clients: 

• Reduces tax drag by moving assets from taxable accounts into an exempt policy
• Provides lifelong insurance coverage for the child and protects insurability early
• Allows the parent/grandparent to maintain full control until they choose to transfer ownership
• Enables a tax‑deferred intergenerational rollover when transferring the policy to the insured child
• Creates growing cash values the child can use later for major milestones (home purchase, business, retirement supplement)

Best fit for:
Families with non‑registered assets, high taxable growth, and a desire to leave a meaningful, flexible legacy.

I’ve attached both GLP concept pieces (parent‑to‑child and grandparent‑to‑grandchild versions) for your reference. If you’d like to explore this strategy with a client, I would be happy to connect you with your local wholesaler!
