Term Life Insurance
Inexpensive term life insurance to cover your income producing ability is a
product that is really needed today to give peace of mind. Life insurance in
Australia was originally conceived to protect a man's family when his death left
them without income.
Over time is has developed into a variety of policy plans. In a "whole life"
policy, fixed premiums are paid throughout the insured's lifetime; this
accumulated amount, augmented by compound interest, is paid to a beneficiary in
a lump sum upon the insured’s death; the benefit is paid even if the insured had
terminated the policy.
Under "universal life," the insured can vary the amount and timing of the
premiums; the funds compound to create the death benefit.
With "variable life," the fixed premiums are invested in a portfolio (with
earning reinvested), and the death benefit is based on the performance of the
investment.
In "term life insurance," coverage is for a specified time period (e.g., 5-10
years); such plans do not build up value during the term. Annuity policies,
which pay the insured a yearly income after a certain age, have also been
developed. In the 1990s, life insurance companies began to allow early payouts
to terminally ill patients. In other words, a policy holder with a grave illness
could now access some of their life insurance funds to use as they choose.
One of the reasons that level term life insurance is a fair bit cheaper than
other life insurance is because the insurer only has to make a payment if the
insured party passes away, and even then the insured party has to die during the
term of the policy for the next of kin (or the named beneficiary) to be eligible
for a payout.
The reason why a level term insurance policy is so called is because the
repayment remain level throughout the term of the policy, so you will never have
to worry about the cost of your policy rising. The policy is also taken over a
fixed term, which is where the ‘term’ part of the policy comes in. This means
that you can enjoy easy budgeting and low cost repayments, and you’ll know
exactly how long you will be making payment for. On the downside, once the
policy expires you will not be able to reclaim any money and the policy will be
cancelled, so you will then need to look at taking out alternative life
insurance cover.
The average term of a level term life insurance policy – unless otherwise
specified – is fifteen years. There are a variety of factors that contribute to
the cost of the policy such as whether you go for the most basic package or
whether you include a bolt-on such as critical illness cover, whether you are a
smoker, your general health, and the term over which you take the policy out.
Both level term insurance policies and whole life policies offer valuable peace
of mind to policyholders. The cost of this type of life cover is a small price
to pay for the peace of mind that comes with being protected, and you can
increase this peace of mind by adding extras such as critical illness to your
policy for just a small extra fee.
As a nation, we like to insure just about everything we can…our cars, our
homes, our belongings, our pets, and even our credit repayments. It therefore
makes sense that we should insure the most important thing of all – our lives.
