Types of Life Insurance
Term Life Insurance
Term Life insurance is the most basic and affordable form of life insurance. As its name suggested, it provides coverage only for a term or a specified period of time. It usually sold for 10, 20 or 30 years term period. Nowadays, you may even find a term life insurance for a 35 years period. A term life insurance can be continued after the term period, but the cost of the policy will be so high that, most of the time, you can start a new policy with a cheaper price.
Term life insurance is also the cheapest form of life insurance because it only provides coverage for a limited time period. There is a high possibility that the insured would outlive the policy. As a result, term life insurance is usually recommended to younger people who have a lot of financial responsibilities and a tight budget.
Return of Premium Term
A term life insurance with a return of premium rider agrees to refund all paid premium in full if you outlive the policy. Return of premium term life insurance is more expensive than a simple term life insurance. Please note that the insurance company does not pay any interest when the money is returned.
Whole Life Insurance
As its name suggested, a whole life insurance provides insurance coverage for your whole life. As long as the premium of the insurance policy is being paid, the policy cannot be cancelled by the insurance company. A whole life insurance can be viewed as combination of a term life insurance and a saving account. A whole life policy builds cash value using part of the paid premium. The policy owner may borrow from the cash value or surrender the policy and receive all the cash value. You can lock in the same monthly payment over the life of the policy.
