A life insurance policy is a binding contract between yourself and a life insurance company. It is the ultimate effort to protect your family in the case of your death in which it provides the money to pay all of your outstanding bills, tax and even your loss of income. Term Life Insurance
When you take a term life insurance policy or contract, the life insurance company will pay your beneficiaries the sum of money in the event of your death within a time period defined in the contract usually up to 30 years in various stages.
Whole Life Insurance
When you take a whole life insurance policy or contract, a wedge of the funds you contribute in your monthly premiums is invested into a fund which earns interest on a tax-deferred rate. Over a period of time, the policy will accumulate a cash value which you can benefit from. Example: you can borrow against the policies' monetary value. More importantly, a policy can be built with a Whole Life contract that accumulates enough cash so as to be paid up when you reach a certain age.
The need for life insurance usually changes over your lifespan. You should consider (at any age) your personal circumstances and the standard of living you require to uphold for your loved ones. In most cases, you only need a life insurance contract if you are depended upon for support. Your life insurance premium is always designated by the type of life insurance you purchase, the amount purchased and your chance of death over the duration of the policy. |
