Foreign Nationals
Legacy protection
Preparing today can help keep a legacy intact
Foreign nationals who regularly visit, do business, or own property in the United States may be unaware of the potential estate tax exposure they may face. Our life insurance solutions can help address this very issue.

Multi-Applicant "Eligible Group" Scenarios
The MNLP can be met on multi-applicant (husband/wife; immediate families; business partners, etc.) “eligible group” scenarios as long as at least one applicant in the group meets the basic minimum. The “eligible group” to be considered must be clearly stated by the agent at time of submission(s). An “eligible group” must demonstrate an obvious, common relationship between/among the applicants (“same agent”/”same agency” cannot be one of the criterion). Bulk submission of otherwise unrelated cases also cannot be used to meet the minimums established herein. Underwriting reserves sole discretion to judge the validity of an “eligible group.”

* For Transamerica Financial Life Insurance Company, the maximum face amount is limited to internal retention amounts only.
