Universal Life Insurance

Do you need the flexibility to change your insurance coverage and premium payment when you need to?


What is Universal Life Insurance?

Universal life insurance is a uniquely flexible form of life insurance; premiums or coverage may be increased or decreased at your option. A universal life policy can be tailored to your financial and insurance needs - and changed when your circumstances change - without having to buy a new policy.

Universal Life Insurance Benefits
"Permanent" insurance protection.
Flexible premiums - can be increased or decreased.
Flexible benefits - can be increased or decreased.
The policy owner may let cash value accumulate.
Accumulated cash values can be used to increase the insurance protection and will be paid to the policy owner if the policy is surrendered.
Cash values provide a "living benefit" or a source of funds that the policy owner can borrow, or use as collateral to help secure a loan.

Universal Life Insurance Features
Characterized by flexible premiums and flexible benefits.
Provides permanent insurance; designed to offer a lifetime coverage if you choose. In order to maintain coverage, you must continue to pay premiums sufficient to support the coverage you want.
The policy remains in force as long as required premiums are paid or until the death of the insured, whichever comes first.
Certain valuable riders (or options) can be attached to the life insurance policies to increase the protection you receive. These riders enhance the basic coverage offered under the policy.
If you take a loan against the cash value of a whole life policy, you will incur interest charges due annually on the policy anniversary. If a policy is lapsed or surrendered, any outstanding balance loan may cause a taxable gain, and the loan amount and unpaid interest outstanding will also reduce your death benefit.
