Life insurance options explained

Child Life Insurance

Child life insurance provides a death benefit in the event of a child's death, but is also used as a long-term financial planning tool for coverage a child can carry into adulthood.

  • Death benefit payable to parents or guardians if a child passes away
  • Cash value accumulation (in whole life policies) that the child can access as an adult
  • Guaranteed insurability provisions — child can obtain coverage as adult regardless of health

Final Expense Insurance

Final expense insurance, sometimes called burial insurance, is a type of whole life insurance with a smaller death benefit designed to cover end-of-life costs.

  • Death benefit typically ranging from $5,000 to $25,000
  • Funeral and burial or cremation costs
  • Medical bills remaining after death

No Medical Exam Life Insurance

No medical exam life insurance allows applicants to obtain coverage without a traditional medical examination, using alternative methods to assess risk.

  • Death benefit paid to beneficiaries regardless of health status at time of death (policy conditions apply)
  • Coverage available without blood draws, urine samples, or in-person medical exams
  • Simplified issue: health questionnaire-based underwriting

Term Life Insurance

Term life insurance provides a death benefit for a fixed period — typically 10, 20, or 30 years. It's the most straightforward type of life insurance and tends to offer the most coverage per dollar.

  • Death benefit paid to beneficiaries if insured passes away during the term
  • Fixed coverage amounts ranging from thousands to millions of dollars
  • Level premiums that stay consistent throughout the term

Universal Life Insurance

Universal life insurance is a type of permanent life insurance that offers flexible premiums and a cash value component tied to current interest rates.

  • Permanent death benefit that can be adjusted within policy limits
  • Cash value accumulation tied to current interest rates (with minimum guarantee)
  • Flexible premium payments — can pay more or less within policy limits

Whole Life Insurance

Whole life insurance provides permanent coverage for the insured's entire lifetime and includes a cash value component that grows over time.

  • Guaranteed death benefit paid whenever the insured passes away
  • Cash value that accumulates tax-deferred over the life of the policy
  • Fixed, guaranteed premiums that do not increase with age or health changes

Understanding what you have

Your current protection may not be the full picture.

Employer-provided group life insurance, existing policies, and other financial products may already provide some protection. Understanding what you have helps identify what may be missing.
