Tax-Efficient Asset Growth with Built-in Legacy Protection.

We help you build tax-efficient wealth and preserve assets for future generations with custom life insurance strategies.

Why Life Insurance

Many people view life insurance solely as a risk management tool — but it can be much more. As tax advisors, we often uncover opportunities where life insurance serves as a powerful, tax-efficient strategy for wealth building, estate planning, and retirement income. Here are four common client scenarios where life insurance can be a strategic fit.

High-Income Earners

High-income earners often seek tax-efficient ways to build wealth and plan for retirement. Permanent life insurance strategies like Life Insurance Retirement Planning offer tax-deferred growth, tax-free cash distributions, and a tax-exempt death benefit.

High-Net-Worth Individuals

For affluent individuals, life insurance plays a key role in estate planning. It provides a tax-free death benefit that can help offset estate taxes — especially valuable for those with significant real estate holdings and limited liquidity to cover tax obligations.

For profitable business owners, permanent life insurance offers a tax-efficient way to plan for retirement. It allows for significant, tax-deductible contributions that build long-term cash value — helping owners grow wealth while securing their future.

Profitable Business Owners

Retirement-Age Seniors

For seniors approaching retirement, permanent life insurance with Long-Term Care riders offers a powerful dual benefit. It provides tax-efficient wealth growth while covering long-term care expenses at a fraction of the cost.

What Our Clients Say

  • ”Lulu was really helpful with determining what type of life insurance we needed based on our needs, our lifestyle, and our budget.  She did not push to purchase anything that’s unnecessary and she made sure that we were informed and educated about the decisions that we were going to make. She met with us a few times and answered our never-ending questions. Thank you for being so thorough and responsive, Lulu!“

  • “I have been with Zhou Agency for more than 15 years from the time they were located in China Town, and the level of services has always been outstanding.

    The most recent, Lu Zhao helped me to settle my life insurance with LTC Policy. Lu always goes above and beyond to provide the fastest response and the most detailed guidance with any questions or concerns I may have. She really cares and is ready to help any time.

    I'm grateful to Zhou Agency and highly recommend this company to anyone who is looking for reliable professional service for business and personal needs. This is the top-notch company with the best people in it!”

  • “Zhou Agency is so helpful in all aspects. Whenever I have questions or need help with my home/auto insurance, Lu is always so helpful and always responds very quickly with an answer. They are clearly on top of their accounts. Lu contacts me ahead of time when its time to renew policies along with options as they always try to get me the best deals. Every year I also do my taxes with Justine. Rather than stressful, doing taxes is always an enjoyable and stress free experience. I have been using Zhou Agency for around 10 years now and I continue to recommend them to friends. Can't recommend them to family anymore as they all use Zhou Agency too :)“

  • ”Good morning everyone. I recently asked Ms. Lulu of Zhou Agency about the payment method of annuity in order to retire next year. I received Ms. Lulu’s detailed and patient answer. I sincerely thank Zhou Agency for its professional service!“
