Let us help to get you secured with one of the keys to generational wealth.

TYPES OF LIFE INSURANCE

Term insurance provides protection for a specific period of time/term. It pays a benefit only if you die during the term. Some term insurance policies can be renewed when you reach the end of the term, which can be from one to 20 years or to a specific age i.e. age 65. Like all life insurance, it pays a cash benefit to your beneficiary, tax-free. Initially it is the most affordable insurance but the cost will increase as you age at each renewal date.

Permanent insurance provides lifelong protection. As long as you pay the premiums, the death benefit will be paid. These policies are designed and priced for you to keep over a long period of time. This type of insurance is ideal for Estate and Legacy planning. If you don’t intend to keep the policy for the long term, this may be the wrong type of insurance for you. Most also have a feature known as cash value or cash-surrender value. This feature, not found in most term insurance policies and provides you with some options such as borrowing against it.

Universal life insurance is a option between the two. It provides a tax-free death benefit plus the option to invest and earn tax-deferred interest. This policy also accumlates a cash-value against which you can borrow.
