Whole Life Insurance
What Is Whole Life Insurance?
Whole life insurance is a type of permanent life insurance that provides coverage for your entire lifetime, as long as premiums are paid. Unlike term insurance, it doesn't expire after a set period. It also builds cash value over time — a savings component you can borrow against or use in the future.
Why You Need Whole Life Insurance
- Lifelong Coverage Enjoy peace of mind knowing your loved ones are protected no matter when you pass away — whether that’s next year or 50 years from now.
- Guaranteed Payout Your beneficiaries are assured a death benefit that can help cover funeral expenses, debts, or provide financial security.
- Builds Cash Value A portion of your premium goes into a cash reserve that grows over time — and you can borrow against it if needed.
- Stable Premiums Unlike other policies, your premiums never increase. What you pay today is what you’ll always pay.
- Wealth Transfer & Estate Planning Whole life policies are great tools for passing wealth to your heirs tax-efficiently.

What Does Whole Life Insurance Cover?
Whole life insurance offers more than just a payout upon death — it’s a comprehensive, lifelong financial tool. Here’s what it typically covers:
1. Death Benefit
Provides a guaranteed lump-sum payment to your beneficiaries when you pass away, helping them cover:
-
Funeral and burial costs
-
Outstanding debts or mortgages
-
Living expenses
-
Children’s education
-
Estate taxes
2. Lifelong Coverage
As long as you keep paying your premiums, coverage never expires — unlike term insurance, which ends after a fixed period.
3. Cash Value Accumulation
Part of your premium goes into a cash value account that:
-
Grows tax-deferred over time
-
Can be borrowed against (like a loan)
-
Can be used to pay premiums or supplement retirement income
4. Dividends (on Participating Policies)
Some whole life policies pay dividends, which you can use to:
-
Increase your death benefit
-
Reduce your premium payments
-
Take as cash
-
Purchase additional coverage
5. Living Benefits
You may access part of your policy’s value while you’re still alive, for:
-
Emergency funds
-
Medical expenses
-
Business investments
-
Retirement income
6. Protection from Market Volatility
Your policy’s value isn’t tied to the stock market, so your death benefit and cash value remain stable even when the market dips.
