Quick Query About Life Insurance....? |
Ok, i just got a quote for life insurance, thing is it says it will be paid out if i die before a certain age. What happens if i die past that age? Do the company just keep all the money?
| Answer: This sounds like a term policy. You guessed it. IF you don't die with in the term (when the policy expires, when you hit a certain age), the company just keeps the premiums. Think of it like renting a house. You have no equity. If and when you move out, you just hand back the keys and thank the landlord for the tempory coverage. You get no cash back. If you are looking at providing coverage that does not expire look at Whole Life insurance. It will be more expensive, but at least you're getting something that you will have a better chance of using. Obviously depends on what you need it for though. They are different products for different purposes, there |
