  • Solving the Hidden Risk in Your Estate Plans: How the Beneficiary Liquidity Plan Closes the Post-Death Funding Gap
    May 15 2025

    In this episode, James Campbell speaks with Amy Bloom from Beneficiary Liquidity Plan (BLP) about this innovative estate planning tool that provides beneficiaries immediate access to funds—typically within 24-48 hours of death—without requiring a death certificate. Unlike traditional estate plans that leave families waiting weeks or months to access assets, the BLP creates a bridge of immediate liquidity when it's needed most.

    The conversation reveals how the BLP works through a simple reallocation of existing assets, not requiring additional out-of-pocket expenses. Anyone under 90 qualifies with no medical questions and no exams. The current growth rate of 3.35% is tax-deferred, with benefits paid tax-free to beneficiaries. Amy shares personal experiences that underscore why this coverage is crucial, including her own family's three-and-a-half week wait for her brother's death certificate.

    For estate planning attorneys, offering the BLP differentiates your practice by addressing a gap other attorneys often overlook.

    Key Takeaways:
    • Estate planning often overlooks the immediate liquidity gap where beneficiaries cannot access funds for weeks or months
    • Nearly 80% of families finance final expenses out of pocket when a loved one dies
    • The BLP provides funds within 24-48 hours without requiring a death certificate
    • Anyone under age 90 qualifies with no medical questions or exams
    • Clients simply reallocate existing assets from non-liquid to liquid positions
    • Current growth rate is 3.35% tax-deferred, equivalent to 4-4.5% taxable
    • Benefits paid to beneficiaries are tax-free
    • Minimum allocation is $2,500 and maximum is $100,000
    • The BLP complements traditional estate planning and can prevent loss of assets
    • Attorneys can generate additional revenue by reviewing BLP documents
    • Implementation includes no cost to attorneys with all marketing materials provided

    Mar 27 2025

    Search engine authority is the battlefield where top law firms win the highest-quality clients, with the Marketing Lawcast revealing how ranking in Google's top positions filters out time-wasters and attracts serious prospects ready to pay premium fees.
