Advantages of Life Insurance
Slide 1 Advantages of Life Insurance Life insurance provides an infusion of cash for dealing with the adverse financial consequences of the insured's death. Life insurance enjoys favorable tax treatment unlike any other financial instrument. Death benefits are generally incometaxfree to the beneficiary. Advantages of Life Insurance 1 Protection First and foremost, one primary advantage of life insurance is the death benefit. Dying with no life insurance can create all sorts of financial and emotional problems for those you leave behind. For example, your family may have to find money for debts, mortgage, bills, funeral expenses, income replacement and more. 2. Removes Worries For the length of your level term life insurance or for the rest of your life with whole life insurance with cash value, you can rest worry free that your family is provided for should you die prematurely. You see, there really is no replacement for the satisfaction you get once you have life insurance in force and you know your family’s financial needs will be met if you die. 3. Cash Value Apart from return of premium policies, term life insurance does not have cash value. However, if you were to go for a permanent policy, you will be eligible for cash value life insurance. Depending on the design of the policy, your cash value will grow over time. By adding certain life insurance riders to the policy, such as paid up additions, you can supercharge the cash value growth. 4. Tax Benefits Not only is a life insurance death benefit not taxable, the cash value accumulation and any dividends accumulate tax deferred. And if you use policy loans you may never have to pay taxes on your cash value growth. Further, all policy loans are free from income tax, and even most cash value withdrawals are taxfree as long as it doesn’t surpass the premiums paid into the policy, i.e. your basis. 5. Flexibility Another advantage of a life insurance policy is that you have great flexibility over what company you choose, the policy, coverage, duration, beneficiary, and more. Even after you have passed away, most insurers will allow the death benefit to be spent on whatever is required rather than forcing your loved ones to spend it in certain areas. Depending on the type of policy you choose, after the policy is in effect. 6. Cheap Prices Life insurance rates are now extremely affordable, particularly term life, thanks to people living longer than ever. Further, as one company competes with the next, cheap life insurance is in abundance. And your own decisions will affect the price and this comes back down to flexibility once again. THANKS
