Advantages of Life
Insurance
Life insurance provides an infusion of cash
for dealing with the adverse financial
consequences of the insured's death. Life
insurance enjoys favorable tax treatment
unlike any other financial instrument. Death
benefits are generally incometaxfree to the
beneficiary.
Advantages of Life Insurance
1 Protection
First and foremost, one primary advantage of
life insurance is the death benefit. Dying
with no life insurance can create all sorts
of financial and emotional problems for those
you leave behind.
For example, your family may have to find
money for debts, mortgage, bills, funeral
expenses, income replacement and more.
2. Removes Worries
For the length of your level term life insurance or
for the rest of your life with whole life insurance
with cash value, you can rest worry free that your
family is provided for should you die prematurely.
You see, there really is no replacement for the
satisfaction you get once you have life insurance in
force and you know your family’s financial needs will
be met if you die.
3. Cash Value
Apart from return of premium policies, term life
insurance does not have cash value. However, if
you were to go for a permanent policy, you will
be eligible for cash value life insurance.
Depending on the design of the policy, your cash
value will grow over time. By adding certain life
insurance riders to the policy, such as paid up
additions, you can supercharge the cash value
growth.
4. Tax Benefits
Not only is a life insurance death benefit not
taxable, the cash value accumulation and any
dividends accumulate tax deferred. And if you
use policy loans you may never have to pay
taxes on your cash value growth.
Further, all policy loans are free from income
tax, and even most cash value withdrawals are
taxfree as long as it doesn’t surpass the
premiums paid into the policy, i.e. your basis.
5. Flexibility
Another advantage of a life insurance policy is that
you have great flexibility over what company you
choose, the policy, coverage, duration, beneficiary,
and more.
Even after you have passed away, most insurers
will allow the death benefit to be spent on
whatever is required rather than forcing your loved
ones to spend it in certain areas.
Depending on the type of policy you choose, after
the policy is in effect.
6. Cheap Prices
Life insurance rates are now extremely
affordable, particularly term life, thanks to
people living longer than ever.
Further, as one company competes with the
next, cheap life insurance is in abundance.
And your own decisions will affect the price
and this comes back down to flexibility once
again.
