There are several types of life insurance;
term, universal, whole life and mortgage insurance. These programs
are designed to fill specific needs—generally ten to twenty
years. No cash values develop and the premiums go up drastically
after the guaranteed period is over. Examples would be mortgage
coverage, business loans, car loans, etc. Whole life insurance is
permanent coverage as it is designed to last the rest of one's life,
no matter how long one lives. This coverage is used for estate planning,
wealth accumulation, passing inheritance to children and more. Significant
cash values develop and premiums never go up. Universal life is
also a permanent product that can last for a very long time. This
product is also flexible and one can control the duration of coverage
by selecting one's financial commitment. Cash values develop at
a lower rate than whole life. |
