PostDateIcon Wed, 06/10/2009 - 16:51 | PostAuthorIcon ralph

Both life term insurance policy and whole life insurance policy have their own features and advantages. While life term policy is the most common policy in the market because it is cheaper, there are those who still prefer a whole life insurance policy.

A whole life insurance policy guarantees that the beneficiary you specified when taking the policy will be paid in the event of your death. The policy guarantees a death benefit that does not decrease and one that is usually tax-free. If you wish, you can be given the death benefit in the form of regular monthly income instead of a single lump sum. When you take the life insurance policy, you are assured that the people you leave behind, be it your wife, children or business partner, will not struggle with their bills. Your policy can be used to foot any bills that may be incurred along the way as they try to adjust their lives without having your income.

Secondly, whole life insurance policies have a cash value. For this reason, the policy holder can borrow them in case he wishes to do something. Thus, they are a good way of getting refinance from the insurance company. In case you want to surrender your policy, you will receive its cash value, which is free of tax.
