Used primarily for estate creation, estate preservation, and estate conservation. Basically, a irrevocable trust is drafted (meaning drafted, designed, and created by a licensed JD professional aka a lawyer and/or attorney) to hold a LARGE life insurance policy on the insured (usually a parent(s), or the spouses parent(s), and upon materialization of the death certificate, the ILIT receives the death benefit insurance proceeds tax free!!! Yes, that's right, tax free! Most the time insurance proceeds are tax free, but there's the exemption limit, so even if the death benefit is WELL OVER the current exemption limit, the entire thing is passed tax free to the trust. The trust itself then has beneficiaries who receive the proceeds in accordance with the trusts design and instructions.
Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust , ILIT --- Basically, a child (grown up in this example) decides he'd/she'd like to after college, get a good job, and use his/her income (or some of it) to purchase a LARGE life insurance policy on his/her parents, and place it in a Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust, ILIT. Then upon materialization of the death certificate, the child is then passed tax free TONS of dinero! Then the child can take it easy, retire, and live off of e.g investments of any kind, perhaps treasury inflation protected securities.

Insurerance

It’s like when the insurance has an insurance and they all do stuff like carve each other out and so on and so forth and it all becomes a shit show and the patient loses an eye in the process.
Please check his Magellan Anthem Blue Cross Optum carve out managed care policy out of pocket, out of network cost. That should clarify his insurerance coverage for his insurance.

A phrase you should promptly say for comedic effect in any setting where someone is seeking feedback on something but there is a pregnant pause...
Presenter: So, does anyone have any thoughts on this planned organizational change?
...tic ...tic ...tic ...tic
"I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico"
laughter ensues, pressure is relieved, feedback session is over and everyone can get the hell out of there...
Or Icy stare from management, you are summarily fired a few weeks later for some drummed up offense...
