Universal Life Insurance

Summary article By Kevin Stith

Universal life insurance is one type of life insurance. It is characterized by flexible premiums and adjustable benefits. As your insurance needs change, your policy can also be adjusted; however, this action requires approval. The benefits of securing a universal life insurance policy include flexibility, security, tax-deferred account value growth and tax-free death benefit.

A universal life insurance plan is flexible because you can adjust your premium payments and death benefits according to your needs. Aside from these two benefits, you can also get tax-free and tax-deferred benefits. Yet, the proceeds that your beneficiaries will get are income tax-free, and the account value of your policy earns interest and is federal income tax deferred.

Getting a universal life insurance policy gives you lots of benefits.
