The most common types of life insurance are term and permanent life insurance. These are both considered

guaranteed life insurance policies. This is because each of these brands of insurance have a guarantee in them.

Term life insurance, also known as temporary insurance, has guaranteed renew-ability, meaning that the policy is

able to be renewed. Most companies offer term life policies that allow for coverage up until the age of 95. If you

pass away while the policy is in force, then your beneficiary is guaranteed a death benefit on the policy. These

types of policies are very good for covering expenses such as outstanding debt or to prepare for burial expenses.

The other benefit to term life insurance is that it also has the ability to be changed into a permanent policy. This

could be a good idea to protect against failing health as you grow older.

Permanent, or whole life insurance, is guaranteed to accumulate cash value on the policy while paying fixed

premiums. As long as the premiums are paid on time then the coverage will be guaranteed regardless of any

change in health. To qualify for whole life insurance you most likely will have to take a medical exam. A more

flexible type of permanent life insurance is universal life, which is a blend of permanent and term. If you want

guaranteed coverage while accumulating more interest and cash value on your policy, then this type of policy would

fit your needs.
