Whole life insurance offers a unique combination of guaranteed death benefit protection, guaranteed cash value accumulation, and guaranteed level premiums over a lifetime. Plus, generally available tax advantages that provide an effective and powerful financial resource, such as:
Premiums are guaranteed not to increase even as you grow older or your health declines. The premium you pay today will be the same premium you pay in later years.
When you purchase a whole life policy, you are helping to ensure insurance protection for your entire life. As long as premiums are paid and policy loans do not exceed the total cash value, your coverage cannot be terminated, even if you become uninsurable later in life.
Your policy is designed to gradually build cash value each year on a tax deferred basis. During your lifetime, the cash value can be accessed as a policy loan to help fund a major purchase, supplement your retirement income, or simply in times of emergency or a special need. Accessing your cash value will, however, reduce your death benefit.
Your policy may earn a dividend that can be used in the following ways:
Everyone is different and therefore has different needs. That’s why Lafayette Life has created several supplemental riders that can be added to your policy to help meet those needs. Adding a rider to your policy may require additional premium.
