Whole Life Insurance is a type of permanent life insurance that provides coverage for your entire lifetime, as long as premiums are paid. In addition to providing a death benefit, whole life insurance also builds cash value over time that can be accessed during your lifetime.
Unlike term life insurance, whole life insurance does not expire after a certain number of years.
How Does It Work?
When you purchase a whole life insurance policy:
- You select a coverage amount.
- Your premium is typically fixed and will not increase.
- The policy remains in force for your lifetime.
- A portion of your premium builds cash value.
- Your beneficiaries receive a death benefit when you pass away.
