Mortgage Insurance:
When you purchase a home, you will be offered mortgage insurance through your financial institution. While mortgage insurance is an extremely important component of your risk protection program, the coverage offered by your financial institution may not be your best alternative. An individually owned life insurance policy holds many advantages over bank mortgage insurance, including:
- Your coverage amount will not decline as you pay off your mortgage.
- You name the beneficiary and that individual has the flexibility to elect how they want to utilize the funds at claim time.
- You can continue the coverage beyond the years that you hold the mortgage at that one institution.
- Since you must medically qualify for the coverage, the premiums are often less expensive than those offered through a bank!

Tax Sheltered Wealth Accumulation:
Most people are aware that life insurance plans offer a death benefit payout in the event that the life insured passes away. However, a little known but extremely valuable feature available with Whole Life and Universal Life permanent plans is that they provide you with the opportunity to create significant tax-sheltered wealth accumulation.
In essence, you would submit additional funding to the policy than what is required to satisfy the actual cost of insurance, and the money invested inside the plan accumulates tax-free. If you wish to access the cash inside the policy at some point in the future (i.e., to provide retirement income), you have the option of either withdrawing it or using a collateral bank loan. A Whole Life or Universal Life policy is a versatile tool that allows you to build tax-sheltered accumulation, enhance retirement income, and give permanent insurance coverage.
