3. Life Insurance

Life insurance is coverage that promises to pay a designated beneficiary a sum of money in the exchange for a premium, upon the death of the insured person. Life insurance is generally classified in two categories; Term Life and Whole Life.  

Term life Insurance is used for financial protection from death until a specified period of time, usually 10, 20 or 30 years.  If the insured dies during the term, a beneficiary or beneficiaries receive the full face value of the policy tax free. The monthly premiums are guaranteed for the life of the term so they remain fixed or level throughout.

Whole Life Insurance (Permanent Insurance) provides life-long protection not just for a set duration. This type of policiy builds a 'cash value' that accumulates as a return on a portion of your premiums that the insurance company invests. The cash value builds tax deferred, and can be used for loans or withdrawals or it can be surrendered (cashed out) prior to death. 

Premiums for Permanent Life Insurance are typically higher as compared to term life because it is intended to last for a lifetime.

For term or permanent life, the premium you pay for your life insurance is commonly based on current age, current health status, tobacco use, and medical history. These policies are medically underwritten and the applicant is assigned a 'risk class.'
