How Does Life Insurance Work?

Simply put, a life insurance policy is a contractual agreement between the insured (you) and the insurer (the company that writes your policy) that states the insurance company will pay out a predetermined sum of money to a beneficiary upon your death. In exchange, you pay the company a premium. Your beneficiaries are typically able to use the payout, which is referred to as a death benefit, for various expenses. These can include funeral costs, debt settlements, college funds or everyday needs and bills.

What Types of Life Insurance Exist?

Generally speaking, there are two main types of life insurance: term life and whole life (also referred to as permanent life). Here’s the basic overview of each type of policy:

·       Term life insurance plans last a set number of years, or term. Term life policies will typically only pay out a death benefit if a death occurs during the policy’s active term. There are two main types of term life insurance: level term and decreasing term.

·       Whole life policies, by contrast, last indefinitely, and the policy will pay out a death benefit whenever you die. There are three main types of whole life insurance: traditional whole life, universal life and variable universal life.

Is Life Insurance Expensive?

Your life insurance premium rates will vary based on the type of plan and death benefits you select. Moreover, your premium will be influenced based on your age, sex and overall health and lifestyle. Most life insurance companies require a medical exam before underwriting the policy and notifying you of  premium rates. Talk to your agent to learn more about what a life insurance policy may cost.
