Frequently Asked Questions
What is Universal Life Insurance?
Universal Life Insurance is a type of permanent life insurance that provides flexibility in premium payments and death benefits while building cash value over time. It combines life insurance protection with a savings component that can earn interest based on current market rates.
How does the cash value component work?
The cash value in a Universal Life policy grows tax-deferred based on current interest rates, with a guaranteed minimum rate. You can access this cash value through withdrawals or loans for any purpose, such as supplementing retirement income or covering emergency expenses.
Can I adjust my premium payments?
Yes, Universal Life Insurance offers premium flexibility. As long as there is sufficient cash value to cover the monthly cost of insurance, you can adjust your premium payments based on your financial situation. This includes paying more when you can afford it and less during tighter financial periods.
What happens if I miss a premium payment?
If you miss a premium payment, the cost of insurance can be deducted from your policy's cash value. However, if the cash value becomes insufficient to cover these costs, your policy could lapse. It's important to monitor your policy's cash value and make necessary adjustments to maintain coverage.
