CASE STUDY

Meet Franco
Securing Legacy

At 60, our divorced client faced a hidden risk – wealth in assets but not in liquidity. Our tailored life policy ensured their legacy could be preserved without asset liquidation.

Existing Situation

Approaching 60, our client, recently divorced, needed a comprehensive review of their financial standing, particularly focusing on the liquidity of their substantial assets.




The Problem

Despite being asset-rich, our client faced a potential crisis. In the event of their death, there were substantial costs, exceeding R10 million, including estate duties and capital gains taxes, a reality they were previously unaware of. Selling their prized assets to cover these costs was not an option they wanted to consider.


The Solution

After a thorough assessment of estate duties, executor fees, and other related costs, we proposed an affordable and effective solution: a life insurance policy. Given the client's good health, the premiums were both reasonable and sustainable, offering long-term security. This strategic move brought immense relief. Our client and their beneficiaries could now rest assured that their cherished assets would remain intact, avoiding forced sales at potentially undervalued prices due to estate liabilities.
