Term insurance premiums will not increase during the guaranteed policy time period (term) you select. Term Life Insurance pays a death benefit only if you die during that term. Term insurance generally provides the largest insurance protection for your premium dollar.
Term Life Insurance remains in force for as long as premiums are current, provided there are no misrepresentations on the application. The insurance coverage terminates if you discontinue your premium payments.
Universal Life is characterized by great flexibility. Policyholders can determine the amount and frequency of premium payments – i.e., the more you pay, the less time you will need to pay. Your premiums cover the insurance part also the savings or investment element and the expense part. The stated interest on the investment portion changes along with movement in interest rates; moves in 1/4 % interest steps are typical as banks and other financial institutions make similar moves.
Whole Life Insurance provides permanent protection for the whole of life – from the date of policy issue to the date of the insured’s death, provided that premiums are paid. Premiums are set at the time of policy issue and remain level for the policy’s life. Unlike term insurance, whole life combines insurance protection and savings or cash value which builds over time. Cash value build-up may provide a source for living benefits, for example, helping pay off a mortgage, or a child’s education, or cash surrender value if the policy is ever cancelled.

Does the thought of getting a medical exam to qualify for life Insurance make you anxious? You’re not alone. For some people, the life insurance application process and medical exams can be stressful. The anxiety of having their blood drawn and going through a paramedical examination may be enough to keep them from getting the coverage they need.
As the name implies, there are life insurance policies that are guaranteed to be issued. That means regardless of your health, you cannot be declined or turned down. However, guaranteed issue life insurance generally offers low death benefit options with higher than normal premiums.
The three main benefits of guaranteed issue life insurance are that there is no required medical examination, no medical questions to answer, and you don’t have to be in perfect health. However, because you do not have to qualify, premiums are typically higher than what a healthy person would pay for the same amount of coverage under a policy that went through medical underwriting.
