Whole Life Insurance Online Quote
Whole Life Insurance Examined

Home

There seems to be much interest in getting a whole life insurance online quote. With the whole world pushing term life insurance people, I believe, want to find out for themselves whether or not there is any value to whole life insurance. Lots of people already know that. Ask yourself this question. Why is it that most policies sole by the large life insurance companies are whole life policies or a variation thereof. Whole life is permanent life insurance and it does things that term insurance simply cannot do.

After all you have heard how can I say that? It works simply this way. You pay $1000 per year, over a 20 year period, for a permanent life insurance policy. You don't die and you decide to cash in your policy. At that time, if you had allowed your cash value plus your dividends accumulate over the years, you are likely to receive considerably more than you paid in over that period. What has your policy cost you? You tell me.

The big problem I have with whole life insurance online quotes is that the life insurance companies have not got to the point as yet where they give you sufficient detail. When you see your quote you get the premium but you don't see the guaranteed cash value and what your return will be over the years from them. You do not see the projected dividends and the varying ways they can be of value to you. You do not see the many options you have if you should choose to stop paying premiums. It is important to know that dividends are not guaranteed though.

• Reduced Paid Up Insurance

Did you know that you can get a paid up life insurance policy for a reduced amount of death benefit after the policy has been in force a few years? Your death benefit will be less thereafter but you will still have some life insurance. Your cash value and dividends still accumulate.

• Extended Term Insurance

Did you know that if you stopped paying your whole life policy after a period of years you could still maintain the full face amount of the policy for an extended period of years? This is called "extended term insurance". The time for which it will continue depends on how long you have had your policy.
