Single Life Plans
Insure one individual life.
Joint Life Plans
Are used when there is one need for several individuals. This is often a cost-effective
way to provide coverage. Several structures are available.
- Joint First-to-die
- Joint Last-to-die
Joint First-To-Die are paid out on the death of the first individual
insured. A good fit for this type of insurance is Family Protection. A couple would
insure to take care of each other and the children should one of them die.
Joint Last-To-Die is a cost-effective way to meet the needs in Estate Conservation. Most
individuals arrange their affairs in a manner such that they delay the payment of any
taxes until the second spouse's death. This plan would pay a death benefit on the second
insured's death, thereby creating the necessary dollars to pay the taxes exactly when
needed.
Multi Life Plans
Can cover several lives usually to a maximum of 5 lives. These plans can be used to
insure a family or business needs. Multiple life plans allow for a life to be added,
dropped or substituted. A life insured may also be able to convert their insurance
amount to a separate policy.
