$ $ Legacy Bank Flow How Money Flows Through a Non-Grantor Legacy Preservation Trust THE FOUNDATION 1. LEGACY PRESERVATION TRUST • Non-Grantor Trust • Created for asset protection, tax efficiency and multi-generational planning • You control the trust as Trustee, but you are not the owner • The Trust owns the policy, not you LIQUIDITY WITHOUT TAXABLE EVENTS Use the money for: • Business opportunities • Real estate • Lifestyle • Emergencies The cash you use is not taxable income. WHY THIS WORKS Policy is owned by the Trust Trust is not a Grantor Trust Tax-deferred growth Access without taxation Asset protection Generational wealth transfer 1 TRUST OWNS THE POLICY The life insurance policy is owned by the Trust, not the individual. This creates protection, control and tax advantages. 2 TRUST FUNDS THE POLICY The Trust uses its capital to pay premiums on a high cash value life insurance policy. 3 CASH VALUE BUILDS Policy cash value grows tax-deferred inside the policy. This is your financial foundation. 4 ACCESS CASH THROUGH POLICY LOANS The insurance company lends its own money to you. Your cash value is used as collateral. Access up to ~90% without withdrawing your money. 5 COMPOUNDING NEVER STOPS Your full cash value continues to earn interest and compound every year, even while you use the money. 6 REPAY THE LOAN You repay the loan to the policy with interest. Interest is paid back into the policy. 7 LEGACY & CONTINUITY Death benefit is paid to the Trust, outside of probate. Wealth is protected, preserved and passed on according to the Trust’s terms. HOW THE LOAN ACTUALLY WORKS The insurance company lends you money. Your cash value is used as collateral. You can access up to approximately 90% of your cash value. Your cash value continues to grow and compound uninterrupted. You repay the loan with interest, keeping the system strong. KEY POINT You are not withdrawing your money. You are leveraging it. The money stays in the policy, earning and compounding every year. THE POWER OF TWO Your money is now working in two places at the same time: 1. Inside the policy, compounding tax-deferred 2. Outside the policy, working for you One dollar, two jobs. This is how wealth accelerates. THE RESULT Protected. Tax-Advantaged. Compounding. Accessible. Transferable. This is the Legacy Bank Strategy. {/* Footer "THE LEGACY BANK ADVANTAGE" strip removed per request — Chateau branding lives in the global site footer instead. */}
OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE

OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE: THE DEFINING DIFFERENCE

The single distinction that transforms life insurance from a personal savings tool into a corporate-style banking engine that maximizes every dollar.

BEFORE

Personal ownership with informal lending.

  • 01Owned individually
  • 02Paid with after-tax dollars
  • 03Policy design prioritizes insurance protection over maximizing its function as a tax-advantaged capital asset
  • 04Must avoid MEC to preserve tax advantages
  • 05Ends with insured, requires estate planning
  • 06Personal financial strategy
AFTER

Trust ownership with documented internal lending.

  • 01Owned by Beneficiary Trust, separating personal ownership from control
  • 02Funded using pre-tax K-1 income routed through the Business Trust, optimizing cash flow and reducing current taxable exposure
  • 03Optimized for high cash value accumulation and capital efficiency through premium overfunding
  • 04MEC can be accommodated within this structure without depending on taxable distributions that trigger adverse consequences
  • 05Built for automatic continuity across generations within trust
  • 06Integrated wealth system for business owners, families, and long-term legacy planning
What This Changes

“Ownership creates liability.
Structure creates control.”

Instead of:Income → You → Tax → Exposure
You now have:Income → Structure → Control → Preservation
01Using the same dollar in two places at once.
02Maintaining uninterrupted compounding.
03Creating your own source of liquidity (your own “bank”).

The Legacy Preservation Trust is a six-layer architecture for tax efficiency, liquidity, strategic exits, and generational wealth preservation.
