? What is Life Insurance?
With life insurance, you can ensure the financial well-being of your loved ones and provide them with peace of mind.Upon death, a life insurance policy pays a payout to a beneficiary, a person you choose.
It is typically a tax-free pay-out. In order to manage day-to-day expenses, it can replace your income.You can use it to pay for a mortgage or college expenses.The money can also be used to cover final expenses or to pay off debts such as student loans, credit cards, or medical bills.
? What is the need of Life Insurance?
Replace your income. If family members or dependents depend on your income, life insurance can replace that income or a portion of it to bridge a financial gap in the household. In both the immediate period after your death and in the longer term, replacing lost income relieves a significant burden from your beneficiary.
Pay funeral expenses. During an already stressful time, life insurance can help pay your funeral and burial costs, as well as any associated costs like end-of-life care
Pay federal death taxes and state death taxes. Funds from your life insurance policy can help cover potential estate taxes so that your heirs will not have to liquidate other assets or take a smaller inheritance.
Certain types of life insurance accumulate a cash value that can be borrowed or withdrawn by the policy owner while the policy is in force (be sure to check with your tax professional to understand any tax implications). If expenses are covered, the remainder of your death benefit can be an inheritance for your beneficiary.
? What is the type of Insurances?
Term life and Permanent life:
Most people consider term life insurance to be the simplest form of life insurance.There is a consistent rate (called the level premium) and the coverage lasts for a defined period of time (called the term).After a term of 10 to 30 years, the policy expires or can be renewed at a higher premium.You can leave a face amount (generally from $10,000 to $500,000 or more) to your beneficiaries after your death.
A permanent life insurance policy can provide lifelong protection and accumulate cash value tax-deferred.Permanent life insurance consists of two types: whole life and universal life.
As a result of your health and other lifestyle factors, term life insurance usually has lower rates for higher face value amounts than permanent life insurance.A term life policy, however, only lasts a specified period of time and does not accrue cash value.
? Which Life Insurance to Choose?
You should consider term life insurance if:
You need life insurance protection for a specific period of time. Term life coverage offers you the flexibility to align the amount of time you’ll need coverage to the length of the term policy. For example, if you have young children and want to ensure that there are funds to pay for their education or care until they are grown, you might buy a 20-year term life policy. Or if you need funds to repay a debt (such as a mortgage or school loans) within a specific period of time (20-year loan), a term policy may be a good option for you.
You have a limited budget but need a higher coverage amount. Because term life insurance is often more affordable than permanent life insurance, you may want to explore term life insurance options first if you are looking for a higher face amount policy on a limited budget.:
You should consider permanent life insurance if:
You want life insurance protection for your lifetime with a death benefit payout if you live to be 100. A permanent life insurance policy also accumulates a cash value that offers the flexibility for potential withdrawals if needed.
If you’ve built sufficient funds within your policy, you can initiate a policy loan with no need for a credit check. However, if the amount of the policy loan is not replenished at the time of your death, then the death benefit funds would be reduced by the amount outstanding on the loan before the remaining funds are paid to your beneficiaries
? What are the reason for cost of Insurance?
Your premium is determined by a number of factors. This includes your coverage needs and risk factors. Along with the amount of insurance coverage and the particular policy you choose, your age and gender are considered. Personal health history and family health history, such as chronic illness or hereditary diseases, can impact premiums. Personal habits and choices, like smoking or engaging in high-risk hobbies can lead to higher premiums. Your employment may also be considered, as some jobs are higher risk than others.

?Will the insurance rate increase with age ?
When you set up your term life insurance policy for a period of time (e.g. 10, 20 or 30 years), your premium rates should not increase for the duration of that term if you’ve made the scheduled payments and your face amount remains the same. However, if you choose to renew your policy at the end of that term coverage period (e.g. 10, 20 or 30 years), it’s quite likely your rates would increase even with the same amount of coverage.
?What if I want to cancel my policy ?
The policy owner may, within a number of days after it is delivered as described in the policy, return the policy to our home office or to the agent who sold the policy and will receive a full refund of any premiums and fees that have been paid to us. Once returned, the policy will be void from its beginning.
? Can I Pre-pay for my Funeral?
You certainly can, and some people do. This approach does have its pros and cons. When you pre-pay for your funeral, you get to personalize it. You can grill different funeral directors until you find one you love. You can pick out the perfect casket and the choicest plot in the cemetery. Plus, pre-paying will more likely prompt you to talk to your loved ones about your choices. This may give both parties more peace of mind.
?What is the Cost of Final Expense Insurance?
The exact cost of your final expense insurance will depend on your age. Unfortunately, the older you are, the larger the premiums. This is because insurance companies take on more risk when insuring older folks, given the fact that they’re statistically closer to death. If you buy final expense insurance when you’re 45, you’ll pay less each month than if you wait to purchase until you’re 75. The average policy costs between $30 – $70 per month but it depends on age, gender, health and the insurance company you choose.
