How Whole Life Insurance Works

Lifelong Protection

The reason that whole life is named as such is that it is coverage for your whole life. That is, it continues all the way to the end of your life no matter how old you get. Many people choose this type of life insurance because it doesn’t expire at a certain time like term life insurance does. There is no term period to worry about. You can simply keep the coverage for the rest of your life. This can give you a strong sense of peace of mind in knowing that your expenses will be covered and your loved ones will be taken care of when you’re gone. 

Cash Value

Another important aspect of whole life insurance is that it will build up a cash value over time. After a few years of paying premiums for the coverage, a part of the profits made by investing those premiums becomes available to you as cash value. This amount of money can be borrowed against when you are in a financial bind. This gives you even more peace of mind when you know that you have a way out of a serious financial situation if you should need it.

I get life insurance through work enough is that enough?

That really depends on how much life insurance is provided by your employer. It may not be anywhere near enough to provide the safety net you need for your loved ones. Keep in mind, that life insurance from an employer will usually go away when you stop working for that employer. 

Is a physical required to get life insurance?

You may need to get a physical, but it is not always required. Chances are you will have to answer a lot of health questions. To have the maximum amount of choices, you will need a physical exam. 

I’m going to retire do I need life insurance?

Each case is different but if you are financially secure and have made sure your final expenses are provided for, probably not. If however you still have people who rely on your income and even your income in retirement and might not be financially stable without you, then yes you still need life insurance. Talk to your financial advisor before making this important decision.
