Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust (ILIT)
An ILIT is a trust created for the purpose of owning one or more life insurance policies. The primary intent of an ILIT is to make cash available to the decedent's estate yet prevent the policy's death benefit from being included in the decedent's taxable estate.
