irrevocable life insurance trust (ILIT)

Irrevocable life insurance trusts (ILIT) allow individuals to ensure the benefits from a life insurance policy can avoid estate taxes and follow the interests of insured. ILITs must be irrevocable, meaning the insured cannot change or undue the trust after its creation. This allows the premiums from the life insurance policy to avoid estate taxes.

Keogh plan

Keogh plans (also called qualified retirement plans, H.R. 10 plans, or self-employed retirement plans) are a type of ERISA retirement plan for self-employed individuals and employees of some private businesses. The plans allow tax-deferment for any contributions and benefits, mirroring the other plans created by Congress to encourage savings for retirement. The employee does not pay taxes for contributions under the annual limit until retirement.
