Life Insurance
Life insurance might not be the most pleasant coverage option to think about, but it can be critical to ensuring your loved ones are taken care of when they need it most. Life insurance policies pay a benefit to the policy’s beneficiaries in the event of a loss of life. There are a number of coverage options available including:
- Term Life Insurance – these policies provide coverage for a specified period of time, typically one to twenty years in length. If a loss of life occurs within the specified timeframe, the policy pays a benefit to the beneficiaries.
- Whole Life Insurance – this type of policy covers a person’s entire lifespan so long as premiums continue to be paid. An advantage to whole life insurance is that not only do these policies pay a benefit to the designated beneficiaries upon loss of life, but they are also able to build up a cash value over time that can earn interest and be eligible for tax deferrals. A policyholder can also borrow against the cash value of the policy making it a more flexible financial tool at one’s disposal.
- Universal Life Insurance – these policies are similar to whole life insurance in that they cover someone for the entirety of their life and can build cash value over time. Universal life insurance policies have the added benefit of offering greater flexibility including the option to skip a payment if the policy has accrued a certain cash value level
