Insurance Trusts (Cont’d) • If the beneficiary is the executor and trustee (not “estate”), then the policy proceeds will also pass outside of probate • But consider cases of Carlisle Estate (Re), (2007) SKQB 435 and Sun Life v. Taylor, 2008 Carswellsask 678 • Reading both together means clear drafting needed to: – clearly designate beneficiaries of the insurance trust – clearly designate trustees (Q – different than executors?) – consider different beneficiaries or different trust terms from residual trusts in the will
Insurance Trusts (Cont’d) • Policy also retains its creditor exempt status under the PEI Insurance Act provided the beneficiaries of the trust are the prescribed class of family members (spouse, child, grandchild or parent)
