Step 2- Type of Life insurance needed?
1. Level Term Insurance - provides a level premium for a specified number of years (10 years, 15 years, 20 years or 30 years). At the end of the year period the rate increases either annually or steps up to a new higher level premium for another level period. Most level term policies are renewable and convertible.
Features:
A. Convertible - allows you to change your term insurance to another type of insurance without any medical evidence of insurability.
B. Renewable - means your term insurance will automatically be canceled at a certain date.
2. Permanent Insurance - (Whole Life or Universal Life) provides a level premium usually for your entire life. More expensive than term.
3. Second to Die Insurance - is life insurance that pays the death benefit when both the husband and wife die. Usually used for estate planning purposes because of the unlimited marital deduction.
Riders- additional cost
1. Waiver of Premium - provides a benefit, usually the payment of premiums if you meet certain conditions (like disability) on different types of insurance policies.
2. Accidental Death Benefit - provides usually the double the death benefit if you die by accident.
