    Study Notes

    Endowment Life Insurance

    • Endowment life insurance policies mature on a specific date or when the insured reaches a certain age (e.g., 20 years or age 65).
    • Cash value in endowment policies accumulates quickly, resulting in higher premiums.
    • Maturation options include death of the insured or reaching the policy period end; surrender of cash value is not a maturation option.

    Credit Life Insurance

    • Credit life insurance policies are held by creditors and issued on the lives of debtors.
    • The creditor is the beneficiary of the credit life policy.
    • As debts are paid, the face amount of credit life insurance decreases, aligning with the remaining debt.
    • Credit life insurance may be offered individually or through group policies but is not limited to group sales.

    Policy Types in Credit Life Insurance

    • Credit life insurance is typically issued as a decreasing term life policy.
    • The amount of credit life insurance cannot exceed the debt balance; thus, for a $14,000 loan, coverage can be up to $14,000 plus interest.

    Survivorship Life Policy

    • A survivorship life policy (second-to-die policy) pays benefits only upon the death of the second insured individual.
    • Policy proceeds are secured only after the last insured person passes away.

    Current Assumption Whole Life Insurance

    • Also referred to as interest-sensitive whole life, this policy features flexible premiums that fluctuate with the current interest rate.
