Whole Life Insurance Policies - Coverage for Life
Whole life insurance policies provide financial coverage for the "whole of life" of the insured, from the date of policy inception until the date of death. Whereas term life insurance covers the insured for a specific period of time (the "term"), whole life insurance covers the insured for life (as long as premiums are paid).
Whole Life Insurance Policies - More Than Just Death Benefits
Although most people purchase life insurance to protect loved ones in the event of death, whole life insurance policies provide some other powerful financial planning opportunities during life. In addition to traditional death benefits, specially-structured whole life insurance policies can provide dividend-based wealth building, tax-favored accumulation and borrowing features, and retirement income.
As dividends accrue against the cash value of the whole life insurance policy, they are credited on a tax-favored basis to the policy account. Thus, the policy holder doesn't pay tax on the cash increase until withdrawal as a structured retirement payment. If the insured dies, the death benefits pass to the beneficiary on a tax-free basis.
Whole Life Insurance Policies - The Foundation for Financial Success
Beyond these standard features, whole life insurance policies can also be structured to act as the foundation for a personal wealth-building solution! Using specially-designed, dividend-paying, whole life insurance policies, individual investors can create their own network of "banks," which allows them to recapture the principal and interest they would otherwise pay to traditional banking institutions throughout their financial lives. Remarkably, the "borrowed" money is returned, reinvested, and recycled by the individual, with each of these "self-banking" cycles generating increased wealth!
Using whole life insurance policies in such a strategy is well-tested, but very few financial planners know how to do it. Therefore, here are some crucial things to remember as you seek advice:
