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.
