No. Although there are potential estate planning benefits that arise from ownership of a reinsurance company, that alone is not adequate to justify the formation of a reinsurance company. The decision of whether to form a reinsurance company is focused solely on the management of business casualty risks, not other criteria. Estate planning benefits, if any, are incidental to the insurance purpose.
Can I form a reinsurer simply for the estate planning benefits?
