The Advantages of Having Life Insurance

Life insurance can provide you with a number of benefits. Though it pays a death benefit to your loved ones, it can play a role in your financial health now, too. The key is to choose the right policy for your needs. Consider a few of the best advantages to purchasing life insurance.image of large family

#1: It Pays for Final Costs

The biggest benefit comes after your death. The policy pays your listed beneficiary a set sum of money. They can use the funds in any way they would like to or need to. They can use the funds to maintain their quality of life. For wage earners and dependents, this is the best benefit. It provides peace of mind.

#2: Funds Can Supplement Retirement Benefits

A whole life insurance policy may pay you dividends during your retirement years. This can make it more beneficial to those who want some type of benefit during their lifetime. As with any investment, there are limitations here.

#3: Provide an Inheritance to Your Loved One

Perhaps you simply cannot build enough equity in your assets now to meet your goals for providing an inheritance to your children or grandchildren. Life insurance can help you. You can name a trust or the individuals to the policy. They receive the funds upon your death. Your policy won't go through escrow, so beneficiaries can still claim the full payout initially.

#4: Low-Cost Borrowing Is Possible

With a whole life insurance policy, you may be able to borrow from the value of the policy during your lifetime. Some policies allow you to benefit from this due to the increasing value of the policy over your lifetime. This can make expensive loans less necessary.

#5: You Gain Flexibility

With a life insurance policy, you can decide who to provide financial compensation to after your death. You can fund a charity. You can fund a trust account for your grandchildren. You can funnel the money to your business or other interests.

Because of how versatile life insurance can be, it is worth investing in for most people. The sooner you do so, the better. However, it is important to compare options.

Work with your agent to determine which policy is right for your needs. Consider all of these advantages. Which ones are important to you? Consider this when choosing a term or whole life policy for your loved ones and your needs.
