4What Is the Difference Between Term Life Insurance and Permanent Life Insurance?
erm life insurance provides coverage for a specified term (e.g., 10, 20, or 30 years) and is often more affordable. Permanent life insurance, on the other hand, offers lifetime coverage and includes a cash value component that can grow over time. Choosing between the two depends on your financial goals, budget, and coverage needs. Term insurance is often chosen for temporary needs, while permanent insurance can be a long-term financial planning tool.
5Can I Get Life Insurance with Pre-Existing Health Conditions?
Yes, it's possible to secure life insurance even if you have pre-existing health conditions. Insurance companies offer different policies with varying underwriting guidelines. While you may pay higher premiums or have some restrictions, it's essential to be transparent about your medical history when applying for coverage. Working with an experienced agent can help you find insurance options that suit your health situation.
6What Is the Role of a Beneficiary in a Life Insurance Policy?
A beneficiary is the person or entity you designate to receive the death benefit when you pass away. It's crucial to choose your beneficiaries carefully and keep your policy updated to reflect your current wishes. Beneficiaries can be family members, friends, charities, or even a trust. You can name primary and contingent beneficiaries, specifying how the death benefit should be distributed.
