Life Insurance for Nevada Attorneys & Lawyers

Calculate: law school debt ($150K-$250K average) + income replacement (10-15x salary). A partner earning $400K with $200K debt might need $4.5M-$6.5M. Associates building toward partnership should plan for future income increases.

Without a buy-sell agreement, your heirs may become partners (unlikely to be welcomed) or be owed a buyout the firm can't afford. Life insurance funds buy-sell agreements, ensuring your family receives fair value while the firm continues operating.

If you're a major rainmaker or hold critical client relationships, yes. Key person insurance helps the firm survive the loss of revenue and recruit or develop replacements. This is the firm's policy—separate from your personal coverage.

Attorneys need "own occupation" disability that pays if you can't practice YOUR specialty. A litigator who becomes unable to appear in court is disabled from their occupation even if they could do transactional work. The same principle applies to life insurance planning.

Beyond basic wills and trusts: asset protection from potential malpractice claims, ILITs to keep life insurance out of taxable estates, and strategies for concentrated partnership interests. Your expertise in estate law hopefully extends to your own planning.
