Longer-duration protection with more policy detail to review.
Permanent coverage can include features that are more complex than term insurance. Understanding the contract matters.
What permanent coverage generally means
Permanent life insurance is designed to remain in force for a longer duration when required premiums and policy conditions are met. Depending on the product, the policy may include cash-value or other features.
Why comparison requires more than a premium
Permanent products can differ in guarantees, premium schedules, policy values, surrender provisions and flexibility. Ask the licensed professional to distinguish guaranteed values from illustrations or non-guaranteed assumptions.
Questions to ask
- Which values are guaranteed by the contract?
- Which elements can change?
- What happens if premiums are reduced or missed?
- Are there surrender charges or other costs?
- How are policy values accessed, if applicable?
- What are the tax implications? Ask a qualified tax professional for advice specific to your circumstances.
