What type of life insurance should you purchase?
Our life insurance specialists, who have access to the finest life insurance companies, can advise you on the best policy that meets your needs and will explain the differences between term, whole, universal and variable life insurance
Here is a brief explanation of each type of policy:
Term life – This is the most inexpensive form of insurance because there are no
cash values or dividends. Term policies are purchased for a specific period of time such as 10, 15, 20 or 30 years. If an insured loved one passes away during that time period, a beneficiary is paid the dollar value of the policy.
Whole life – As the name suggests, a whole life policy is protection for someone’s entire life. Premiums, which insurance companies invest, stay the same during the life of the policy. There are cash values, and some companies pay policyholders’ dividends. The cost is higher, but it is considered more effective for estate planning.
Universal life – A valuable coverage and living benefit, universal life policy allows for more flexibility and is more of an investment vehicle, however, increased contributions may be necessary if the investment interest assumptions are not met.
Variable life – A variable policy offers more investment options than a universal
life policy, with the policyholder having the ability to select the investment options.
