What Constitutes Permanent Life Insurance?
If you’re seeking a life insurance solution to safeguard your family’s financial future, even in the event of a long lifespan, Permanent Life Insurance might be the right choice.
What Is Permanent Life Insurance?
Permanent Life Insurance offers enduring coverage throughout your lifetime, providing protection until death. It serves as a reliable safeguard for various long-term needs, such as supporting dependents, covering funeral expenses, or addressing business or estate tax obligations.
How Does Permanent Life Insurance Work?
In the event of your passing, your beneficiaries receive a tax-free payout, akin to other life insurance policies. Additionally, Permanent Life Insurance includes a savings component. A portion of your premiums goes towards investments, accruing over time. These investments grow tax-deferred, building a cash value that can be utilized if needed. This cash value can serve various purposes, including supplementing retirement funds, either partially or entirely, through loans secured against the cash value.
There are two primary categories of permanent life insurance:
- Participating Life Insurance: This type provides assured insurance payouts and cash values. Additionally, you receive dividends annually, while your premiums remain consistent over time.
- Universal Life Insurance: Offering guaranteed cash values for specific policies, Universal Life Insurance allows policyholders to select their investment options. Typically, it’s more cost-effective than Participating policies and offers greater flexibility in premium payments.
Benefits of Permanent Life Insurance:
- Lifelong Coverage: Unlike term insurance, permanent life insurance provides coverage for your entire life as long as premiums are paid, offering security and peace of mind.
- Premiums to a Certain Age: Some policies specify an age limit, such as 100 or 121, after which premiums cease while coverage continues. This eliminates concerns about ongoing payments in your later years.
- Death Benefit Assurance: Regardless of age, the death benefit is guaranteed to be paid out, ensuring financial protection for your loved ones upon your passing.
- Cash Value Growth: Permanent policies accrue cash value over time, which grows tax-deferred, serving as a valuable savings component.
- Surrender Value: If necessary, the policy can be surrendered, providing access to the accumulated cash value, offering financial flexibility when needed.
- Borrowing Options: Policyholders can borrow against the cash value of the policy, akin to taking a loan, without jeopardizing the death benefit. However, any loans will reduce the death benefit and cash value accordingly.
