    • January 2005 ESTATE PLANNING article, Stephan R. Leimberg highlighted the epidemic commonly referred to as stranger-owned life insurance (‘SOLI’)
      • This result was recently suggested by Stephan Leimberg in his article on SOLI. [FN9]  As he argued, by changing the natme of life insmance into an investment vehicle (or into a tax shelter vehicle), the promoters of these products are undermining the justification for the income tax benefits associated with life insurance (the income tax-free accumulation of cash value and receipt of death benefits). As the focus shifts from selling quality life insuance products to clients who want and need them to selling gimmicks to clients who otherwise don’t want or need life insurance, the industry places itself in greater peril.
