Being an investor in real estate requires a great deal of skill, including identifying potential investment opportunities, planning for capital investment, and maintaining properties over time. Yet one risk that is often overlooked is the impact of the investor’s untimely death. For high-net-worth investors whose estate values exceed the lifetime exclusion amount, this can lead to substantial exposure. These investors face unique financial challenges and opportunities that make life insurance an essential component of their wealth management and estate planning strategies.
