Term Life insurance policies are used to cover a temporary insurance need, such as a mortgage or a line of credit. Whereas, Universal Life insurance policies are generally used to cover long-term insurance needs.
The following is a summary of some of the additional differences between a Term Life and a Universal Life policy.
1. Term Life premiums increase as the insured ages. With Universal Life, there’s an option between increasing cost of insurance and level cost of insurance.
2. Most Term Life policies expire at 80 or 85. Universal Life policies provide lifetime protection.
3. Term policies have a fixed premium. Universal policies have a flexible premium. Premiums can range anywhere from the plan minimum to maximum amounts.
4. Term Life policies have no cash values. Universal Life policies have an optional investment component.
5. Term life policies are convertible to permanent plans, such as a Universal Life or Whole Life Plan. Universal Life plans are not convertible, i.e you can not convert from a Universal Life policy to a Term policy.
I have found the LSM website immensely useful and I'm grateful for you agreeing to let me use some of your information on disability insurance - more specifically your breakdown of partial versus residual disability insurance - for my new book. This will greatly benefit my students. I also appreciate the responsiveness and professionalism of Syed Raza.
Thanks for the note. The premiums will depend on your smoking status, Health, plan type and face amount.
We will send you a separate email now. Regards,
