LIFE INSURANCE
Term Insurance

Permanent Life Insurance
An umbrella term for life insurance plans that do not expire (unlike term life insurance) and combine a death benefit with savings portion. This savings portion can build a cash value – against which the policy owner can borrow funds, or in some instances, the owner can withdraw the cash value to help meet future goals such as paying for a child’s college education. The two main types of permanent life insurance are, whole and universal life insurance policies.
