Insurance Trusts

The intent idea OF one person
taking life insurance is to provide
wholly or partially for the sur
vivors.
In most cases the beneficiary is
not acquainted with business-and
if insurance is paid in one sum. it
may be poorly invested and quickly
lost.
An insurance trust fund is ad-
visable in such cases. The insured
person hereby provides the allot-
ment of money at specific times
and invests authority in the bank
Tin this case) to provide from the
fund at unspecified times if con-
ditions warrant it.
