Back by Popular Demand! Plus, This Connelly v. United States Webinar ‘Reprise’ Offers CPE Credit

On September 5, Advanced Sales discusses the impact of this Supreme Court decision. Register and attend for 1 CPE Credit.

In a unanimous ruling, the United States Supreme Court determined that life insurance proceeds received by a corporation to redeem shares from a deceased owner do not automatically reduce the corporation’s value due to its obligation to purchase those shares. Essentially, despite the corporation’s responsibility to buy the deceased owner’s shares, the insurance proceeds allocated for this purpose are still regarded as an asset of the business. This ruling means the value of the corporation increases for the estate of the deceased shareholder. This decision overturns previous case law where the death benefit was offset by the corporation’s liability to buy the deceased owner’s shares¹.
