Term Insurance
Term insurance is a type of life insurance that provides coverage for a specified period of time, typically ranging from one to 30 years. If the insured person were to pass away during the term of the policy, the death benefit would be paid out to their beneficiaries. Term insurance is generally less expensive than permanent life insurance because it does not include a savings or investment component. Once the term of the policy expires, the coverage ends and there is no cash value. Some term insurance policies offer the option to convert to a permanent policy at a later time.
Whole Life
Term Insurance
Term Insurance
Whole life insurance, also known as permanent life insurance, provides coverage for the entire lifetime of the insured person, as long as the premiums are paid. In addition to the death benefit, whole life insurance policies also have a savings or investment component known as cash value. A portion of the premium paid goes towards building up the cash value, which grows tax-deferred and can be accessed by the policyholder in the form of a loan or withdrawal. The premiums for whole life insurance are typically higher than term insurance because of the added cash value component and the guaranteed lifetime coverage. Whole life insurance is often used as a tool for estate planning or for leaving a legacy to beneficiaries.

Universal Life
Universal life insurance is a type of permanent life insurance that combines a death benefit with a savings component. It offers flexibility in premium payments, death benefit amounts, and the accumulation of cash value. Unlike whole life insurance, universal life insurance allows the policyholder to adjust the premium and death benefit amounts throughout the life of the policy. The cash value component of a universal life policy earns interest based on a fixed rate or a variable rate tied to an investment account. This allows the policyholder to potentially grow the cash value of the policy over time. Universal life insurance policies also offer the option to take loans or withdrawals from the cash value, but these may affect the death benefit and premiums of the policy.
Final Expense

Final expense insurance, also known as burial insurance or funeral insurance, is a type of life insurance that provides coverage specifically for end-of-life expenses. It is designed to help cover the costs of funeral and burial expenses, as well as any outstanding medical bills or debts that may be incurred at the end of a person's life. Final expense insurance policies typically have lower death benefits and smaller premiums compared to other types of life insurance. The application process is often simpler and may not require a medical exam, but the coverage amounts may be limited, and the premiums may be higher compared to other forms of life insurance. Final expense insurance can be a valuable option for those who want to ensure that their end-of-life expenses are covered and that their loved ones are not burdened with the costs.
