Study Notes
Life Insurance Policies Overview
- Universal Life combines term insurance with an investment component, providing flexibility in premiums and death benefits.
- Variable Life products require both a life Insurance License and a Securities License for producers to sell.
- Joint Life Policy insures two lives and pays out upon the death of the first insured individual.
Policy Benefits and Features
- A 20-Year Endowment policy pays out $20,000 upon the insured's death within the coverage period, regardless of cause.
- Variable Universal Life offers a flexible premium and investment control, allowing policyholders to adjust their death benefit.
- Term Life Insurance is best for individuals seeking temporary protection at the lowest premium cost.
Cash Value and Benefit Payments
- A Face Amount Plus Cash Value Policy pays both the face amount and accumulated cash value upon the insured's death.
- Whole Life Policy with an Other Insured Rider provides $100,000 permanent coverage with an additional $50,000 term coverage for a spouse.
- An insurance policy becomes a Modified Endowment Contract (MEC) if it exceeds certain IRS premium limits, losing tax advantages.
Policy Characteristics and Conversions
- Whole Life Insurance provides guaranteed benefits but does not allow partial withdrawals beyond a surrender charge period.
- Term Insurance expires at the end of its defined period, with conversion options for some policies varying by contract.
- Survivorship Policies cover two people and pay out upon the death of the last insured.
Premium Structures and Adjustments
- Graded Premium Whole Life features yearly increasing premiums in early years that stabilize later on.
- Universal Life Policies have fluctuating cash values based on changing mortality, interest, and expense factors.
- Adjustable Life Policies allow for face amounts to be adjusted but not through policy dividends.
Insurance Types and Conversions
- AD&D Insurance pays out benefits for specific events like blindness, while twists like Joint Life and Survivor policies pay out on the last insured's death.
- Renewable Term Policies allow insured individuals the option to renew based on attained age, impacting premium calculations.
- Conversion Provisions enable policyholders to switch from term policies to whole life without proof of good health.
Special Insurance Considerations
- Non-Qualified Policies include features like the Automatic Premium Loan, which is typically absent in decreasing term policies.
- Family Income Policies provide income benefits for a specified period following the insured's death.
- Stranger-Owned Life Insurance (STOLI) involves purchasing life insurance solely for profit motives, involving third parties without insurable interest.
Policy Recommendations
- For guaranteed cash accumulation, consider a 20 Pay Life, which generates cash value faster than other standard whole life products.
- Decreasing Term Policies are ideal for covering mortgages as they align with decreasing liabilities.
- A Modified Whole Life policy maintains fixed premiums for a set period before adjusting, providing a structured premium payment plan combined with level death benefits.
