From: Jeffrey Epstein <jeevacation®gmail.com> To: drsra Subject: Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2011 19:28:46 +0000 Life Insurance Policies and Annuity Contracts Cash value in insurance and all annuities are protected from creditors' claims by Florida Statutes. While a Florida resident is alive, the cash value of any insurance policy he owns on his life or on other Florida residents is exempt from creditors claims. The protection afforded to the cash surrender value of a life insurance policy is only for the benefit of the owner/insured. Death benefits are not protected from the creditors of the policy beneficiary. Perhaps the most popular financial product for asset protection planning is annuities. Florida courts have liberally construed this statutory exemption to include the broadest range of annuity contracts and arrangements. Private annuities between family members are entitled to the exemption as are the proceeds of personal injury settlements structured as an annuity. Additional protection is available by purchasing international annuities. Particularly, Switzerland and Liechtenstein have laws which guard annuities from attack by creditors for outside countries including the United States The protection of cash value insurance and annuities extends to proceeds of these assets after receipt. Florida courts have held that funds withdrawn from a cash value insurance policy and annuity payments received by a debtor remain protected after they are deposited in a financial account as long as the fimds can be accurately traced back to the exempt assets. The money does not have to be segretated in a separate account so long as it is traceable.
