Also called "Adjustable Life Insurance"
Universal Life Insurance (also called "Adjustable Life Insurance") is another type of permanent life insurance similar to Whole Life Insurance. Universal Life Insurance covers the insured party as long as they live and continue paying premiums. However, Universal Life Insurance provides more flexibility in premiums and coverage changes.
What Makes Universal Life Insurance different from Whole Life Insurance?
Universal Life Insurance differs from Whole Life Insurance because it provides more flexibility in premiums and coverage once the policy is in effect. Generally, with Universal Life Insurance, a client can increase or decrease their death benefit and pay premiums in varying amounts, provided they've made their initial premium payment. There are certain plan-specific limitations that your agent can review with you.
Why would I need Universal Life Insurance?
Clients looking for permanent life insurance coverage often consider Whole or Universal Life Insurance. Universal Life Insurance coverage can be appealing to those seeking coverage earlier in life. Some advantages of Universal Life policies are their flexibility and the ability to utilize investment components to cover the plan premiums.
