New ways to look at life insurance As time goes by, our priorities change. We find ourselves wanting to share our good fortune with those around us, to show our support of the causes and institutions we believe in, to leave the world a little better than we found it. When goals such as these take shape, the life insurance policy that served us well in years gone by can serve us in an entirely new way when we make a charitable gift. In other cases, a new policy can be the key to achieving your goals. Possibilities include: giving the death proceeds, giving the policy itself or, giving a new policy.
