What type of life insurance product has variable premiums and face amount?

Universal Life insurance has variable premiums built into the policy (whether traditional Universal Life or Variable Universal Life). However, many people end up paying less than they need to and the policies don't work out the way they planned. If you do a Universal Life policy, make sure you have a trustworthy agent. As for variable face amounts, some term policies have built in options to enable increasing the face amount of the policy at certain points in time. This may also be an optional rider on some policies, but there is a cost to it. This can be a good idea if budget doesn't allow for the appropriate face amount. Often insurance companies will allow you to reduce the face amount of a policy and get a reduced premium. Permanent insurance (Whole Life and Universal Life) have variable face amounts based on dividends and interest that may add to the face amount over time. Feel free to ask more.

How does a life insurance trust work?

A life insurance trust is used to remove the assets and death benefit of the life insurance policy out of the insured's estate for estate tax purposes. If the insured were to remain the owner of the policy, the policy procedes would be estate taxable at the time of death. This is a non-issue if your assets are less the the allowable estate tax limits.


How do life insurance settlements work?

Life settlements involve the sale of an in-force life insurance contract, by the contract owner, to a third party. Generally, the seller of the policy receives the policy's cash value, plus an additional amount determined by an appraisal-termed the "current market value." In consideration of the monies paid to the policy owner, the third party is: named the policy owner and beneficiary, continues to pay all premiums as they come due, and will receive the policy proceeds upon the death of the person insured under the policy. All types of life insurance, term, universal or whole life, can have market value much like real estate or equities. And, given the right circumstances, a life settlement can make a lot more sense than allowing an in-force life contract to lapse.
