Irrevocable trust created to receive the proceeds of a life insurance policy, normally established to avoid paying estate taxes.

A life insurance trust provides additional liquidity to the insured, but has the disadvantage that the person named as beneficiary cannot borrow against the policy, and must survive a gift to the trust by three years.
