Understanding Affordable Term Life Insurance


There are many commercials that pop up on television and radio promoting the value of getting an affordable term life insurance quotes. Now, most people have a clear understanding of what a term life insurance quote entails. However, they may be unaware what the concept of term life insurance centers on. For those that may have a number of questions regarding this form of coverage, the following is a brief overview of what it entails.


As with other forms of life insurance, term life insurance centers on offering a “death benefit.” That is, when the insured dies the beneficiaries will be paid a settlement amount based on the amount of coverage that the insured purchased. Again, this is standard with all life insurance policies. However, term life insurance is different in one respect. Specifically, term life insurance only provides coverage for a certain designated period of time. This timeframe is, of course, the term mentioned in the title of the coverage.


In short, the coverage is purchased for a specified term. When the term expires, the insured has the option of purchasing a new policy. In some instances, it may be the exact same policy at the same price. In other instances, it could be a new policy at an increased price or different terms. And, of course, the insured could also downgrade the policy for a lower premium. Really, this is the major benefit of purchasing a term life insurance policy. A person can save a lot of money on the purchase of a policy since the policies are being purchased in fixed terms.


This makes term life insurance perfect for those that may be on a proverbial budget. Anyone looking to make sure their family is properly covered in the advent of an emergency can take out a short term policy at a reasonable cost. That alone is a huge endorsement for term life insurance.

Estate Planning Part 15 - Life Insurance and the Estate Planning Cycle

Estate planning is the process of accumulating and disposing wealth before death of an individual or estate owner. The most important goal of estate planning is to make sure that the greatest amount of the estate passes to the estate owner's intended beneficiaries while paying the least amount of taxes. In this article, we will discuss the important role of insurance in estate planning cycle.

1. Creating wealth
Before one can build their wealth through investment vehicles, he or she must know how to save. In this stage, life insurance is always the first stage of estate planning cycle so it can guarantee there are funds around for the beneficiaries in case of sudden death. Most of the time, this stage applies to people just starting a family and have little savings. The type of life insurance used generally is term life insurance because it provides larger amounts of insurance with affordable premiums.

2. Wealth protection
a) In the later stages of a person's life, when debt is diminished and wealth has been created, protection and conservation of the asset becomes more important. In this stage of the estate planning cycle, term life insurance is no longer provides enough protection. Therefore universal life insurance may be considered, since all investment funds up to maximum amount allowed each year that have been deposited in the universal life policy is tax exempt upon the death of policy insured.
b)Universal life insurance now becomes more important because all unrealized capital gains from stock accumulation, and the appreciation of rental property will have to pay upon the death of the owner. Since life insurance is tax free and is considered as a liquidate asset, it can be used for various purposes such as funeral expense, and paying income tax without selling estate asset at a cheap price if the person dies in the economic down turn.
c) Life insurance also helps to pay off liabilities of estate testator and acts as an emergency fund in case there are no other liquidate assets around.
