Whole Life Insurance
Whole life is a type of life insurance contract that provides insurance coverage of the contract holder for his or her entire life. Upon the inevitable death of the contract holder, the insurance payout is made to the contract’s beneficiaries. These policies also include a savings component, which accumulates a cash value. This cash value is one of the key elements of whole life insurance (Dividends).
Disadvantages of Whole Life
Cash value will not start to build until two to three years of continual premium payments. More expensive than other types of life insurance Loans are not immediately available
Advantages of Whole Life
Premiums paid to the policy never increases, as long as you make sure to pay the premiums and the policy doesn’t lapse. It’s guaranteed – as long as you pay your premiums.
