Whole life insurance. are you covered

Introduction to Whole Life Insurance

Used interchangeably, whole life insurance or permanent life policy is a contract between the individual who owns the policy aka the policy owner, the insurer and the insurance company. Whole-life policies provide protection or coverage for one’s entire life. These contracts remain in force as long as the premiums are paid or if the policy expires at age 100. Like term policies, permanent policies offer a variety of different types.

Types of Permanent Policies

 

These may include whole life as we are discussing, universal life policies, variable life policies, indexed universal life policies, and variable universal life policies. The main takeaway from this article is that all these policies last for your lifetime.

Protection and Savings

The basic concept of life insurance is that it provides or creates an INSTANT ESTATE, for loved ones when the insured pass. There should be no better feeling than knowing your loved ones will and should have this type of protection. Life insurance also provides income for your family in case of any type of unexpected event. Policies of this nature can even provide childcare services, no better feeling in the world than knowing even your young children are covered financially.

 

Life Insurance is for you while you’re alive

For emphasis, the main reason to get life insurance ASAP is to provide financial protection for yourself and your family. An important point to note is that while the policy has a built-in savings feature, policies also have an investment component in them as well. The general misconception is that life insurance is not and should not be considered an insurance decision. Acquiring life insurance is actually an investment/saving decision.

Considerations When Choosing Policy Type

1. Insurer age and premium amount (monthly or annually)

2. Face amount coverage

3. Retirement income needs

4. Specialized needs (children’s college education)

 

Other options

The bottom line, individuals and families should review the types of policies they are considering purchasing. The great news is that there are riders (additional benefits) and provisions that can be added to the policy.
Cash values are also critical components of life or a permanent policy. These are called value life policies, which generate the saving element in the policy. The size of the cash value build-up is different with respect to insurance companies.

 

Things To Consider

1. Premiums, cash value and benefits are guaranteed

2. Cash-value growth is tax-deferred

3. Policy is for life providing premiums are paid

4. Premiums are usually higher than the term, but remain constant or fixed.
5. Cash value can be withdrawn after a couple of years

6. Compound interest

7. All policies come with Living benefits

 

This is what the wealthy have been using for years, copy the blueprint.

Armed with this information, individuals and families now have no excuse not to go and create their own estate. Life insurance contracts are the most appropriate tools to accelerate this process and if anyone does not have a life policy, then the question is; what are you waiting for?
