Types of Life Insurance 

Life insurance is a policy that allows the insured to designate beneficiaries to be allotted a sum of money after the insured dies. The way this works is that the insured pays a premium for a duration of time in exchange for the sum of money paid out after death. There are two main types of life insurance for policyholders to choose from:  

Term life insurance  

Term life insurance covers you for a chosen time and is an inexpensive way to have protection for a short time since it offers a death benefit with no cash value. Once your term ends, the coverage also comes to an end, and the value of your policy no longer exists.  

There is no set rate for this coverage type. Term life insurance rates typically rise as you get older. Discuss your needs with your agent to determine your quote.  

Permanent life insurance 

Permanent life insurance refers to any other life insurance policy aside from term life insurance. These policies are long-term with tax-sheltered savings plans. This coverage lasts a lifetime which differs from term life insurance policies. Permanent life insurance policies build up a cash value that you can borrow against, withdraw or use to pay future premiums.  

Premiums are typically costlier than term life policies, but be sure to speak with your agent for an accurate quote.

Be sure to discuss your factors with an agent to determine how much coverage you may need and the cost of your premium.
