2 Important Notes Estate Evaluation is a tool to assist you in exploring potential estate planning opportunities. However, this presentation is not your estate plan or a specific recommendation for your estate plan. Inclusion of any particular option and the use of the term Proposed Plan within this analysis does not constitute a recommendation of a particular option over any other planning alternative. Other alternatives may be more appropriate for your particular situation. Neither Brokerage Unlimited, Inc. (BUI) nor your advisor guarantees or expresses an opinion regarding the accuracy of the system or the output and will not be liable to any person for any damages arising from the use or misuse of Impact s software, or from any errors or omissions in the same. I understand and agree that BUI and my advisor assume no duty to update this software or to notify me of any errors in the software or applicable changes in the law. Numeric examples in this presentation illustrate various estate planning concepts, based on certain assumptions detailed in this analysis. The furnishing of accurate data by you will help ensure the value of this analysis. However, all rates of return are hypothetical and are not a guarantee of the future performance of any asset, including insurance or other financial products. Calculations in this report are only estimates. This presentation does not attempt to illustrate the precise legal, tax, accounting, or investment consequences of a particular planning alternative. Actual results may vary substantially from the figures shown. The precise consequences of a particular planning alternative depend on many variables, some of which may not be accounted for or fully described in this presentation. Unless otherwise indicated, the income tax and generation-skipping transfer implications of particular transactions are not reflected in this analysis. No attorney-client relationship is established between you and any attorney who prepared and/or presented this report. Your own legal and tax advisors should be consulted before you make any estate or business planning decisions (or change title to any assets or change beneficiary designations) to determine (1) the suitability of a particular planning alternative, and (2) the precise legal, tax, investment, and accounting consequences of that alternative. BUI and its agents, employees, and registered representatives do not give legal, tax, accounting, or investment advice. This presentation and any other oral or written communications shall not be construed as such.

Gifts $1,796,616 Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust $3,053,566 Family Trust $8,945,388 Net Distributions to Heirs $10,334,280 less: Income Tax on Income in Respect of Decedent -$334,663 Total to family after both deaths $23,795,186 Charitable: Trusts, Bequests, and Gifts $243,451 Total to family and charity after both deaths $24,038,637 Without New Recommended Life Insurance Total to family and charity after both deaths $22,034,708 1 Heirs must pay the tax on income in respect of decedent, usually associated with inheriting qualified retirement plan assets and annuities. 1 of 46 January 26, 2017

4 Executive Summary (Continued) Action Plan Issue Revocable trust, while well drafted, is missing 1 several key provisions including trustee removal, 1 generation skipping and beneficiary creditor protection provisions. 2 Durable powers of attorney are approximately 12 years old and risk non-acceptance by certain 2 financial institutions. 3 Health care powers of attorney are missing essential HIPAA provisions and require immediate 3 attention. Revocable trust provides for charitable gift to be 4 distributed to specific charitable beneficiary. 4 However, gift is not currently designed in a tax efficient manner. Projected estate value significantly exceeds 5 projected estate tax exemption at life expectancy, potentially subjecting estate to significant estate 5 taxation. Given significant liquidity provided within the estate 6 as well as the short time horizon to retirement, it 6 does not appear the current income replacement term life insurance policies are necessary. Proposed Action Meet with a qualified estate planning attorney to review the Revocable Trust Review checklist contained within this Report and update trust as necessary. Meet with a qualified estate planning attorney to draft and execute new durable powers of attorney. Meet with a qualified estate planning attorney to draft and execute new health care powers of attorney. Consider removal of charitable gift provision from revocable trust and instead name charity as a partial beneficiary of qualified retirement accounts/iras to maximize tax efficiency of gift. Consider implementation of a gifting program maximizing annual exclusion gifts. A portion of the annual exclusion gifts could be directed to an irrevocable life insurance trust, wherein the trustee would significantly leverage gifted funds into a much larger sum provided by a survivorship life insurance policy. Consider allowing current term insurance policies to lapse after survivorship coverage is in place. Alternatively, term insurance policies should be gifted or sold to an irrevocable life insurance trust to remove death benefits from taxable estate.

25 Making the Most of Your Life Insurance Estate Taxes on Existing Life Insurance One of the first steps in estate planning is to make your life insurance more effective. Estate taxes must be paid on all assets, including life insurance proceeds. 1 If the life insurance is outside the estate, all of the proceeds are available to your heirs. 2 For example: Life Insurance Inside Estate Amounts inside the estate are policies in which the owner or beneficiary designation causes the death proceeds to be included in the taxable estate of one of the clients. Life Insurance Outside Estate Amounts outside the estate are policies that have ownership and beneficiary designations that remove the death proceeds from both estates. Total to Heirs: $60,000 Total to Heirs: $100,000 1 Assumes a marginal federal estate tax rate of 40%. 2 Changes in ownership must be in effect for three years to avoid estate taxation. 23 of 46 January 26, 2017

26 Leveraging Gifts with Life Insurance Using Gifts to Purchase Life Insurance In this example, the first bar shows gifts exactly equal to the life insurance premiums. The appreciation of these gifts is based on an annual growth rate of 8%. The second bar shows the same gift being used in payment for life insurance premiums. The life insurance would have a value equal to the policy cash value prior to the death(s) of the insured(s). At death in 10 years, the value to the beneficiary would be the death proceeds, or $1,000,000 in this example. In each case, the same assumptions are made concerning the taxation of gifts. It is also assumed that these gifts will be outside the insured's taxable estate. If excluded from taxable estate, insurance proceeds will be income and estate tax free. (Exceptions not considered here are gift taxes paid within three years of death and any transfer of life insurance within three years of death.) This example shows equal gifts and assumes equal estate and gift taxation. "Leveraging" gifts with life insurance describes how smaller gifts, used to pay life insurance premiums, may purchase a larger death benefit. The difference between the cumulative premiums, adjusted for growth, and the death benefit will depend on a variety of factors, such as when death occurs and the growth rates assumed. No existing policy values have been used to pay or "finance" new life insurance. $1,000,000 $156,455 $100,000 $100,000 Regular Gifts Gifts totaling $100,000 ($10,000 per year for 10 years) plus the appreciation (growth) for 10 years have a value of $156,455 to the beneficiaries. Gifts of Premiums Gifts totaling $100,000 ($10,000 per year for 10 years) used to help pay for life insurance premiums. If death occurs at the end of 10 years, this gift has a value of $1,000,000 to beneficiaries. This is a hypothetical situation. It is not intended to illustrate any particular life insurance product. Any insurance proposed should be accompanied by a complete illustration of proposed policy values. 24 of 46 January 26, 2017
