- Whole Life Insurance
Whole life insurance
is one you can select when looking at life insurance online. This policy has a level premium from the outset. It never increases. The death benefit is also level but can be more than you started out with depending on which
dividend option
you choose...assuming the company declares a dividend. Dividends are not guaranteed. So you may start out with a $100,000 policy and choose the option of using your dividends to purchase paid up additions and as a result your
beneficiaries
are paid let us say $105,000 upon your death. This is just an example, the actual amount will depend on the point of death and the amount of dividends paid by the company. You can request an online life insurance quotation for this policy.
Whole life policies have
cash values
which can be borrowed in case you have a need for immediate cash. You do not need to tell the insurance company why you need the money. You repay in your own time and at your convenience. As there are many more advantages to the whole life policy it would be wise to get an online life insurance quotation on this one.
The life insurance companies have also modified this policy in many ways. Some are good and, in your humble servants opinion, some are not so good.
