What are the types of life insurance and what’s best for me?
There are various types of life insurance policies, but they generally fit into three categories: term life insurance, whole life insurance, and universal life insurance. The right policy for you and your loved ones will depend on which life insurance policy best aligns with your goals.
Term life insurance is a straightforward insurance policy that provides a death benefit for a fixed amount of time, typically 10 to 20 years. Many Texans start off with term life insurance and depending on the policy, can be converted to a longer-term policy at a later point if your life changes and additional protection is needed.
Whole life insurance is a long-term life insurance policy that provides permanent protection. A wealth-building policy, this is a versatile life insurance option that grows with you, accumulating cash value. Premiums, which are lower the earlier you start, do not increase and a death benefit is guaranteed. Whole life insurance also offers additional benefits such as access to accumulated funds, tax advantages, and dividend payouts.
Universal life insurance could be best described as a hybrid between term life and whole life insurance. These types of policies have adjustable premiums and term coverage, offering you the power of choice as well as the flexibility to adjust your policy to reflect certain life changes. Regardless, you will still be able to provide your loved ones peace of mind and security.
