    The two basic types of life insurance policies are Term and Permanent.

    Term insurance does not have cash value and is for temporary needs, because the coverage will end or have a big price increase at the end of the term.

    Permanent Life insurance comes in Whole or Universal Life. Permanent Insurance can be purchased to provide coverage for your whole life. There are many different features to Permanent coverage so it is important to discuss this type of insurance with a reputable agent before making your choice.

    The two basic types of life insurance are permanent (whole life) and term life. Whole life insurance is designed to provide a death benefit from now until your last day. These policies grow cash value over time that can serve as an additional nest egg after retirement. Term life policies are coverages for a specific period of time. Many working adults use term life to protect their lives while their children are young to ensure they will be properly cared for if at least one parent were to pass away. Each type of policy has a few variations. For example universal life , variable life and final expense are all forms of whole life insurance. Income protection and mortgage protection are types of term insurance. Even though they fall under the two basic types of life insurance, they can all be used for different reasons depending on the consumer's need.

    There are two types of life insurance: Term and Permanent life insurance. Term life insurance is for a time certain period of coverage to indemnify your beneficiaries from financial liability. Permanent life insurance is for ongoing financial liabilities that may never terminate.
     
    Depending upon your age term life insurance issues at guaranteed periods of 5, 10, 15, 20 and 30 years. Permanent life insurances can mature up to age 121 and some polices actually isle “the life of the insured.” Permanent life insurance can be classified into two categories: Par whole Life and Universal Life. Universal life has four policy platforms: Guaranteed universal life, current assumption universal life, indexed universal life and variable universal life.
