This Declaration of Insurance Trust is made this __(1)__
day of __(2)__, 19 _(3)_, by and between _____(4)_____, of
_____(5)_____, hereinafter called the Trustor, and _____(6)_____,
of _____(7)_____, hereinafter called the Trustee.
I.
The Trustor, as owner of certain life insurance policy or
policies listed below, and desiring to establish a Life Insurance
Trust, with power in the Trustee upon the death of the Trustor
to purchase assets from Trustor's estate, assigns to the Trustee
all his right, title, and interest in the policy or policies
of insurance, to be held by Trustee in trust, and to receive
the proceeds of the policy or policies of insurance when they
become due and are paid, for the purposes and on the conditions
set forth herein. The Trustor reserves the right to add to
this trust from time to time additional life insurance policies
which, when delivered to the Trustee, shall be held by him
subject to the terms herein.

II.
The Trustee is vested with all right, title, and interest
in the life insurance policy or policies, and is authorized
and empowered to exercise and enjoy, for the purposes of the
trust and as absolute owner of the policy of insurance, all
the options, benefits, rights, and privileges under the policy

in the life insurance policy or policies which are not assignable

III.
Upon the death of the Trustor, the Trustee may, within his
discretion, purchase assets from Trustor's estate at a fair
value. The propriety of the purchase, the amount of such assets
purchased, and the ascertainment of fair value shall be solely
within the discretion of the Trustee, and the Trustee shall
incur no liability as a result of the purchase or purchases
whether or not the assets constitute investments which may
be legally made by Trustee.
IV.
If the Trustee uses all or any portion of the proceeds of
the policy of insurance to purchase assets from the estate
of the Trustor, as authorized above, then the net income produced
from the assets, or the proceeds of any sale, exchange, or
reinvestment of the assets, shall be paid to the spouse of
the Trustor during the spouses's lifetime.
V.
If any beneficiary of this trust who is at the time receiving
income would otherwise, in the opinion of the Trustee, be
subject to hardship or suffering, the Trustee shall have the
authority to pay over and distribute, at any time and from
time to time, to the beneficiary the amounts of the principal
of this trust, from which the beneficiary shall then be entitled
to receive income as the Trustee, in his sole discretion,
shall deem necessary to provide for the maintenance, comfort,
support, and medical care of the beneficiary.
VI.
This Life Insurance Trust shall be irrevocable and unamendable.
I am aware of the consequences of establishing an irrevocable
trust and hereby affirm that the trust created by this agreement
