Inheritance dollars are not always what they seem.

The expenses incidental to the settle- ment of an estate—taxes, legal fees and other necessary costs— often shrink its value to a point far below the sum left by the testator. By acquiring a Life Insurance Policy for that purpose you can pro- vide for these expenses and keep your estate intact.
