Craig Wear, CFP® warns against converting IRA funds into life insurance by withdrawing from IRAs (post-age 59½), paying taxes, and then placing those funds into life insurance policies—often promoted as multi-year transfers (e.g., $100,000 per year for five or seven years). He argues this can be a poor choice for many because it reduces liquidity and introduces surrender charges and life insurance costs, so purchasing based solely on marketed benefits rather than features is misguided.
