◉ limited-payment life insurance Answer: Limited pay life insurance
is for an individual who owns a whole life insurance policy but
chooses to pay for the total cost of their premiums for a limited
number of years. With the limited pay life insurance option, you pay
premiums in the first 10, 15, or 20 years of ownership, but the
benefits last a lifetime.
◉ Single premium Life Answer: a type of life insurance that charges
the policyholder a single up-front premium payment to fully fund
the policy. It was once a popular tax shelter.
Single-premium life insurance requires a large sum of money from
the policyholder that puts this type of insurance out of reach of
many applicants. The great advantage to single-premium life
insurance is that the single payment fully funds the policy,
immediately guaranteeing a sizable death benefit to the
beneficiaries.
Two popular single-premium policies are single-premium whole life
and single-premium variable life. The two differ in how each policy
accumulates a cash value. The first offers a risk-free fixed interest
,rate. The second invests the cash value in actively managed
portfolios and comes with the risks and potential rewards of active
investing.
◉ Flexible Premium or Adjusted Life Insurance Answer: Adjustable
life insurance is a term and whole life hybrid insurance plan that
allows policyholders the option to adjust policy features. These
policies allow policyholders the ability to adjust the period of
protection, face amount, premiums, and length of the premium
payment period. These policies also incorporate an interest-bearing
savings component or cash value account.
Adjustable life insurance policies are attractive to those who want
the protection and cash value benefits of permanent life insurance
yet need or want some level of flexibility with policy features. Using
the ability to modify premium payments and face amounts,
policyholders may customize their coverage as their lives change.
For example, a policyholder may want to increase the face amount
upon getting married and having children. An unemployed person
may want to reduce premiums to accommodate a restricted budget.
As with other permanent life insurance, adjustable life insurance has
a savings component that earns cash value interest. Today, most
adjustable life insurance cash value accounts have a guaranteed rate
of interest.
,◉ Universal Life Insurance Answer: permanent life insurance with
an investment savings element and low premiums like term life
insurance. Most universal life insurance policies contain a flexible
premium option. However, some require a single premium (single
lump-sum premium) or fixed premiums (scheduled fixed
premiums).
Policyholders have the flexibility to adjust their premiums and death
benefits. Universal life insurance premiums consist of two
components: a cost of insurance (COI) amount, and a saving
component, known as the cash value.
The cost of universal life insurance is the minimum amount of a
premium payment required to keep the policy active.
can accumulate cash value, which earns interest based on the
current market or minimum interest rate.
Policyholders may borrow against the accumulated cash value
without tax implications.
◉ Joint-Life (First to die) Answer: combines life insurance for you
and your spouse into one joint policy. Both individuals are listed as
insured parties on the policy. When the first person dies, the policy's
death benefits will be paid out to the survivor. The policy also
terminates at that point, leaving the surviving spouse with no life
insurance coverage.
, ◉ Survivorship (Second-to-Die) Life Insurance Answer: Second-to-
die insurance is a type of life insurance on two people (usually
married) that provides benefits to the beneficiaries only after the
last surviving person on the policy dies. This differs from regular life
insurance in that the surviving partner doesn't receive any benefits
after the spouse dies. Thus, second-to-die insurance is used for
estate planning.
◉ Life insurance on minors (3207(b)) Answer: A minor above the
age of fourteen years and six months shall be deemed competent to
enter into a contract for, be the owner of, and exercise all rights
relating to, a policy of life insurance upon the life of the minor or
upon the life of any person in whom the minor has an insurable
interest, but the beneficiary of such policy may be only the minor or
the parent, spouse, brother, sister, child or grandparent of the minor.
◉ Fixed (equity) indexed life Answer: Equity-indexed universal life
insurance is a type of permanent life insurance policy that ties its
accumulation to a stock market index.
Unlike variable universal life insurance, which allows policyholders
to invest a portion of the cash value into a range of funds and stocks
with various risk profiles, equity-indexed universal life insurance
offers policyholders the opportunity to place the cash value in an
equity index account, which pays interest according to a market
index without actually investing the money in the market.
