How to Compare Whole Life Policies

Types

There are four main types of whole life insurance: a plan that you pay monthly, a plan where you pay the entire premium payment in one payment, a plan that is considered “paid in full” after you have made regular policy payments for a predetermined number of years and one that is considered “paid in full” once you reach a certain age. Choose one based on the way you want to pay your premiums.

Features

Some whole life insurance policies will garner you profits or losses through various investments; others will guarantee the exact benefit you paid for upon your death–nothing more and nothing less. Choose the type that you are most comfortable with.

Considerations

If you know that you may need some of the money in the future, while you are still alive, make sure that it is a policy that will allow you to borrow against the value of your policy. Full Post…
