Athens, Georgia Life Insurance Policy Types

When you purchase life insurance, you will need to choose between two basic policy types. Each has different advantages, as follows:

• Term life: This is a temporary policy purchased for a certain amount of time, or “term.” Most people purchase term insurance for a period of 5 to 30 years. If you should pass away during the course of the term, your beneficiaries will receive funds in the amount that you purchased. When the term is up, the policy expires.
• Permanent life: These policies, including universal life and whole life insurance, allow you to lock in rates and keep your policy for as long as you continue to make payments on your premiums. Though they are more expensive than term policies, they can serve as an investment vehicle. These policies build up a cash-value over time that you can use in various ways; in some cases, you may be able to pay your premium with the accrued cash value on the policy.Your current financial situation, your long-term coverage needs and your personal preference should all factor in to your life insurance investment. An agent in the Trusted Choice network can help you evaluate each option by answering your questions and providing you with rate quotes.
