Life Insurance Tax Shelters (LITS) offer an option that will not only permit your money to grow Tax-Free, but if structured properly, will permit you to access the funds without tax ramifications. Each insurance company has their own name for their unique plan, but the plans basically operate like this. You participate in an insurance plan that also permits you to deposit money into it. The amount deposited can be very flexible and may change as you desire over the years, however, you will always be required to participate in the insurance coverage.
