Life insurance is a unique planning tool, enjoying extensive tax, investment, probate and political advantages in most countries of the world. Probably no other financial instrument provides so many benefits. If you operate in the international tax-planning arena, you need to understand the financial benefits life insurance has to offer.

The Editor, David D. Whelehan, JD, has assembled a distinguished group of authorities on international life insurance to set out for you the key issues in this fast-changing area of international planning - and how to profit from the financial benefits it offers. This work has been made possible by sponsorship support from Marsh Financial Services, Marsh Private Client Group, Trident Trust Company and others.

In twenty-four expertly-written chapters, International Life Insurance analyses the central issues facing practitioners, advisers and clients alike.

International Life Insurance includes detailed, individual chapters on each of the principal jurisdictions including: the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Japan, People's Republic of China, Mexico, Brazil, Taiwan and the offshore jurisdictions of the Bahamas, Bermuda, the Cayman Islands and the Isle of Man.
