Term life insurance provides coverage at a fixed rate of payments for a limited period of time, the relevant term (10 years, 20 years etc).
Term life insurance can help with the loss of a contributing member of the household by helping to pay for childcare, education, mortgage expenses—all the things that make a full life. It can give you coverage for a competitive monthly cost and provide you with the knowledge that you have helped plan for a secure financial future for your family.
Whole life insurance sometimes called "straight life" or "ordinary life," is a life insurance policy which is guaranteed to remain in force for the insured's entire lifetime, provided required premiums are paid, or to the maturity date
Permanent life insurance provides lifelong protection, and the ability to accumulate cash value on a tax-deferred basis. Unlike term insurance, a permanent insurance policy will remain in force for as long as you continue to pay your premiums. The need for life insurance often persists long after the kids have graduated college or the mortgage has been paid off. If you died the day after your youngest child graduated from college, your spouse would still be faced with daily living expenses. Premiums are initially higher than for term coverage.
Final expense insurance is designed to cover the bills that your loved ones will face after your death – think medical bills and funeral expenses. Final expense insurance is also known as burial insurance, since even bare-bones funerals cost thousands of dollars. Many middle-class families are quite unprepared for even the burial costs, much less all of the other expenses. Elderly people often have to live on very tight budgets after retirement, and they cannot always be expected to have several thousand dollars saved.
The beneficiary will receive any money over the cost of the funeral. It removes a lot of the health-related nuance of traditional life insurance, such as the paramedical exam, which means you’ll get covered much more quickly and in circumstances where you might not otherwise.
Guaranteed Issued Life Insurance means that regardless of your health, you cannot be declined or turned down. Because the life insurance company can’t determine through a medical exam or questions the extent of your health, you should expect to receive higher than normal rate quotes. Most people who apply for guaranteed issue life insurance are generally not in good health and may have been denied coverage at one time.
