Living Legacy® III

How It Works:

Your existing non-qualified annuity money or qualified money* can be transferred to Shenandoah Life’s “10-Year Temporary Life Single Premium Immediate Annuity” via a 1035 exchange or qualified rollover/transfer.

You, as the policyowner, assign the annuity payouts to Shenandoah Life to be used to pay the premium on a Universal Life policy.

Living Legacy® III

* Funds from Roth IRA & SIMPLE IRA not accepted.

How It Works:

Shenandoah Life issues a Universal Life policy and the Immediate Annuity is irrevocably assigned to pay the life premiums for the next ten (10) years or until the annuitant’s death, whichever is sooner.

The taxable gain on the annuity disbursement is spread over the 10-year payout period, and you, the annuitant, receive a 1099 each year for 10 years.

Living Legacy® III

Helen, a 65-year-old female nonsmoker, is in a 28% tax bracket, and wants to leave her estate to her granddaughter.

Helen has $75,000 in a non-qualified annuity (of which $25,000 is gain) and $75,000 in CDs and Money Market funds.

She currently receives a 1099 form each year indicating taxable income on her CDs and Money Market Funds only.

Example:Living Legacy® III

Because interest is accumulating tax-deferred in Helen’s annuity during her lifetime, when she dies, her granddaughter (as Helen’s heir) may have to pay income tax on that portion of Helen’s annuity that is considered gain ($25,000), depending on the payout option selected. This may cause Helen’s granddaughter to be in a higher tax bracket.

Example(continued)

Living Legacy® III

If Helen died today, her granddaughter would have to pay income tax on the $25,000 gain.

If Helen surrenders the annuity for a lump sum today, her tax on the $25,000 gain would be $7,000, payable for the current tax year. (Assuming a 28% tax bracket.)

Example(continued)

Helen’s Current Portfolio

$75,000 Nonqualified Annuity

$75,000 CDs & Money Market Funds

$150,000 Total Estate at Death

Example(continued)

Living Legacy® III

Helen met with an insurance agent representing Shenandoah Life and completed a worksheet to

determine if Living Legacy® III

is right for her, and to choose which funds she wanted to reallocate to Living Legacy® III.

Example(continued)

Living Legacy® III

Helen decided to transfer the $75,000 in annuity money to Living Legacy® III, with her granddaughter listed as the named beneficiary of the UL policy, and to keep the CDs and Money Market Funds available for other possible uses during her retirement.

Example(continued)

Living Legacy® III

By transferring $75,000 into Living Legacy® III, Helen purchased

$184,500 in life insurance.

This increased the size of Helen’s total estate from $150,000 to…

Example(continued)

$259,500!

Living Legacy® III

Helen’s estate before purchasing a Living Legacy® III policy:

$75,000 annuity

$75,000 CD and money market funds

$150,000 estate at death

Helen’s estate after purchasing Living Legacy® III:

$184,500 Living Legacy® III life insurance coveragepurchased with $75,000 annuity

$75,000 CD and money market funds

$259,000 total estate at death!

Living Legacy® III

Transferring the $75,000 from her annuity into Living Legacy® III significantly increased the size of Helen’s gift to her granddaughter.

And, because Living Legacy® III is life insurance, under current tax law the benefit will pass to her granddaughter income tax free.

Example(continued)

Living Legacy® III

Over the next 10 years, Helen will receive a1099 annual reporting form, while the money

from the SPIA in Living Legacy® III pays into

the Universal Life insurance policy.

Instead of paying $7,000 in tax on the gain in the annuity at once, as she would if she cashed in the annuity, Helen will only be required to report as income a portion of the gain each year for the first 10 years.

Example(continued)

Living Legacy® III

After 10 years, the annuity terminates and there is no additional gain to report on this transaction. Should Helen die prior to the end of the 10 years at any time following issue of the Living Legacy® III policy, her named beneficiary (her granddaughter) would receive the larger, income tax-free life insurance benefit of $184,500* rather than the smaller taxable annuity benefit.

*Assumes non-guaranteed elements will continue unchanged for all years shown. Actual results may be more or less favorable. Benefits are subject to terms and conditions of the policy and vary by age and health status.

Example(continued)

Living Legacy® III

What’s more: The insurance proceeds pass outside

probate to Helen’s granddaughter as her designated beneficiary.

And her granddaughter will receive the insurance proceeds without having to pay income taxes on the money.
