What Is Life Insurance

A life insurance policy is designed to provide its beneficiaries with a death benefit payment upon the insured’s death. The payment is issued by the insurer, and the death benefit amount is agreed upon by the insured and the insurer at the time of signing the contract. Some insurance policies allow the policyholder to adjust their death benefit amount throughout the course of their policy.

End Of Life Policies

There are several types of coverages that are currently available to the average consumer; term-life, whole life, and universal life. Each type of plan comes with its own set of unique benefits and drawbacks. These are the core differences between each plan:

  • Term-life – Term-life insurance offers the insured coverage for a set period of time, rather than their entire life span. 
  • Whole-life – This type of insurance policy spans the length of the insured’s entire life. Therefore, they can maintain the policy for as long as they are able to continue making premium payments. In many cases, whole-life insurance policies will also generate cash value over time, which can be borrowed from in times of need.
  • Universal insurance – A universal policy is somewhat different than a whole-life policy, though both offer lifetime coverage. The key difference is that a universal policy allows the insured to make changes to their death benefit and adjust their premium rates throughout the course of their lifetimes. Some consumers dislike universal policies because the premiums often increase parallel to increases in the value of the death benefit in order to keep up with large coverage volumes.

Term Life

A life insurance policy could provide your family with the financial security they need if you suddenly pass away. A term life policy will provide you with limited coverage for a specific amount of time, wherein if you die, your family will receive a predetermined death benefit payout. 

Term Life

How Does Term Life Insurance Work?

When you sign a term-life insurance contract, you commit to making premium payments for a set period of time in exchange for a death benefit that will be paid to your chosen beneficiaries following your death. The periods offered in term policies vary and can range from as few as 5 years up to 30 years. As long as you pay your premiums throughout the timeframe of your contract, your loved ones will receive the death benefit if you do die.

What Happens When My Term Ends?

Though, if you reach the end of your term limit, you will no longer have life insurance. At that point, you can choose to purchase a new term policy or convert it into a more permanent option, such as whole or universal life insurance. The choice is up to you, but an agent can help you make the decision more easily. The best thing to do if your term-life policy is coming to an end is to make a decision at least six months before its expiration date so as to ensure that you don’t have any gaps in coverage.

Do I Need THIS COVERAGE?

This insurance isn’t necessary in every case, but it is highly recommended for anyone who is raising dependents or paying off significant debt. For people in the circumstances, a term-life policy can prevent their family from taking on unnecessary financial burdens following the loss of a primary earner in the household.

Whole Life Insurance
Whole Life

Are you worried about how your family will replace your income after you pass away? A whole life insurance policy may be ideal for you. This policy will provide your family with a massive lump-sum payment upon your death, as long as you keep up with your premium payments. 

What Is Whole Life Insurance

Whole life insurance policies provide coverage for the entire life of the insured individual, making it a permanent form of life insurance. The death benefit doesn’t have to be added to the gross income of the beneficiary, but the policyholder may choose to have the benefit stored in an account and paid out over time. As you pay premiums into the policy, you can also accrue value in the form of a cash savings component. The cash value of your policy can be tapped into via loans that must be paid back over time.

How Does The Cash Component Work?

As you pay your premiums, part of the payments you make can be invested in the cash value of your policy. The cash value can also gain dividends and earn interest, allowing your policy to grow even further in value over time. Many policyholders choose to reinvest their interest and dividends to ensure the highest value for their policy.

If you take a loan out from the cash value of your whole life insurance policy, it must be paid back within a reasonable period of time as determined by the terms of your policy contract. If the policyholder passes away before paying it back, the owed amount will be deducted from their death benefit payout. Therefore, it is important to always ensure that you return any money taken out of your policy to ensure the financial stability of your family.

Additional Death Benefits

If the initial death benefit you purchase isn’t adequate in the long term, you can also purchase additional benefits to supplement your policy. Some examples include riders that protect your death benefit from being deducted in the event you become critically disabled or terminally ill.

Final Expense

Final expense insurance can provide you additional financial benefits that your family can use to pay for funeral expenses or other death-related costs if you do die unexpectedly.

Final Expense

END OF LIFE Policies

These types of policies are a form of whole life insurance policy that offers a rather small death benefit but has the added benefit of being much easier to get approved for. The reason final expense policies offer a smaller death benefit than traditional life insurance policies is because they are primarily intended to provide family members with the funds necessary to bury the deceased. Although, the beneficiaries can use final expense benefits for any purpose they choose.

Who ARE FINAL EXPENSE POLICIES FOR?

End of life policies are ideal for retirees who no longer have employer-based life insurance or another form of life coverage. This is because people in this position often have adequate savings and assets as well as fewer dependents and financial obligations. Because they have less financial responsibilities, the premium price of term or whole life insurance may not be worth paying.

POLICY Benefits INCLUDE

As mentioned previously, the death benefit payout associated with final expense insurance is significantly lower than your typical traditional life insurance policy. In fact, the average policy ranges from $2,000 to $50,000. In most cases, this is approximately enough money to afford any funeral related costs, such as burial or cremation. The average funeral ranges from $7,000 to $12,000. Therefore, larger policies will leave a substantial surplus for your family to draw upon.
