Frequently Asked Questions
How does project finance debt affect wind company insurance needs?
Wind project developers often provide personal guarantees during the construction phase. Life insurance matching these guarantees protects families from liability and ensures lenders are covered if a key principal passes during the development period.
What estate planning considerations apply to wind farm developers?
Successful wind project developers accumulate significant equity in illiquid project entities. Life insurance funded estate planning, including potential ILIT structures, provides liquidity for estate taxes without forcing sales of project interests.
