The rule affecting advisors in the retirement space was set to go into effect on April 10
The Department of Labor has issued a 60-day delay for the applicability date of the DOL fiduciary rule affecting advisors in the retirement space. The rule was set to become applicable on April 10. Previously, as NAIFA and our coalition partners emphasized to the new administration just how important the issue is, President Trump instructed the DOL to review the rule to determine whether it will harm consumers. Specifically, he directed the DOL to determine if the rule will: reduce consumer access to retirement products, adversely affect investors or retirees, or increase "the prices that investors and retirees must pay to gain access to retirement services."
Using Universal Life Insurance to Satisfy the Requirements of a Divorce Decree
When a couple gets divorced, the court often requires alimony or child support payments. But, what if the spouse who is responsible for the court-ordered payments dies?
The surviving ex-spouse will no longer receive payments and may not have the means to support himself or herself, or to adequately support their family, if children are involved.
That's why an increasing number of decrees require the support-paying spouse to purchase a life insurance policy on his or her life with their ex-spouse as the beneficiary - at least for a specified period of time.
