Physician Estate Planning Services
We Help To Protect Your Legacy From Death Taxes
The life of a physician is never easy. Between routinely being swamped with patients Monday through Friday and then trying to maintain some semblance of a family life on the weekends, your life becomes all about prioritizing. Invariably, with so many responsibilities on your plate, certain decisions are put on the back burner or might become procrastinated entirely.
At TPA Services, we empower physicians by assisting them with the management of all their retirement, life insurance and estate planning needs. Our services help to safeguard your assets by building supplemental income streams for you to enjoy while also protecting your estate from incurring unnecessary tax liabilities that would torment your family long after you are gone.
Is Your Estate Fully Prepared For The Death Tax?
Did you know that both the Federal and State governments routinely impose inheritance taxes on the deceased estates of wealthy individuals and spouses? Aside from a one-year reprieve in 2010, during every year since 1916, the IRS has been taxing the full value of the gross estate of high-net-worth families.
This tax is known as the Federal estate tax and is commonly referred to as the IRS “Death Tax.”
For the unaware or unprepared, the consequences of this tax liability can be devastating. From 1935 to 1981, the top death tax rate was at least 70% and has never fallen below 35% since. Estate taxes and their subsequent interest penalties due to any late payment can quickly take their toll. To compound the problem even further, the estates of the deceased are also responsible for the filing and payment of the final annual income taxes, gift taxes, generation skipping taxes and any final capital gains taxes that are owed to the IRS.
Isn’t it time you started preparing your estate before it is too late? The death tax is back in full force, so what can physicians like yourself do about it?
Don’t Leave Yourself Exposed To The IRS!
Estate taxes are calculated based not solely on the value of any liquid assets such as cash, bonds, stocks, savings accounts and retirement plans but also from an estate’s holdings in any illiquid assets like real estate, art work, cars, boats or closely held ownership maintained in any partnerships and organizations. Death taxes decimate estates every year that do not prepare.
What can be done to combat these death taxes?
Our life insurance estate planning programs have been helping high net worth families like yours for decades to complete their estate plan and fully protect their families against the various state and federal estate taxes that threaten them. In fact, Teachers Pension Advisory Services specializes in implementing the same advanced, life insurance planning strategies that have been utilized for many years by both high net worth individuals and more than 70% of recent Fortune 1000 companies through corporate owned life insurance (COLI) programs.
One of the biggest draws to life insurance has always been its death benefit that can be received tax-free by the beneficiaries. The tax-free, liquid income provided by life insurance must be used to offset death taxes because these liabilities are calculated based on the value of ALL liquid and illiquid assets that qualify inside of the estate.
Holding a disproportionate amount of illiquid assets inside of your estate is a recipe for disaster. Do not be naive and fall into the trap of being asset rich and cash poor. The consequences for failing to plan will be devastating on your estate and your family.

Protect Your Estate And Safely Diversify Your Portfolio With Tax-Free Income And Living Benefits!
In order to fully protect your estate from both state and federal death taxes, life insurance has to be THE essential ingredient in EVERY estate plan.
Why?
No other type of estate planning vehicle produces as many tax savings and tax-free benefits.
With life insurance, the first thing that typically comes to mind is to think of it as a safety net for families because of a death benefit that can be received tax-free. Because of this, many people are unaware that with certain types of life insurance plans, you can also access living benefits from your policy. Teachers Pension Advisory Services can structure your life insurance program to accomplish this objective through the use of tax-free distributions from your plan’s cash value that over time has continued to both compound and grow income tax-deferred with principal and interest earnings.
Use your estate planning to enhance your overall retirement planning. You can have the option of accessing these tax-free distributions annually for the rest of their life while still maintaining your death benefit in the process.
