3 Important Things To Look For in a Comprehensive Life Insurance Policy

By Thomas on January 29, 2019

When you are young and fit, thinking about your eventual demise and the financial security of your family may seem unnecessary or even morbid, but this is the best time to start considering comprehensive life insurance policies.

Delving into the world of life insurance can be a confusing and convoluted experience. The language and specifics concerning life insurance can be especially daunting if you’re unfamiliar with health insurance, which is why it’s important to do your research first before deciding on what life insurance plans will work for you and your family.

The reasons you have for deciding to purchase life insurance policies for you and your family may vary, but no matter what life event has triggered your decision to buy life insurance, you will know that you are providing financial assistance for your family in the event that anything happens to you.

When you’re choosing comprehensive life insurance plans, you’ll want to keep in mind the following three things to look for in a comprehensive life insurance policy to make sure your family’s future is secure.

Consider what your premiums give you

If you’re unfamiliar with insurance and are just looking to tick a box, you may be drawn to the cheapest, lowest premium that you can find. However, the lowest premium plan may not work best for your family. While competitive pricing is important, cheapest doesn’t always mean best. Many plans with low premiums may be restrictive in how payments are given after death, and what is actually covered. For example, plans with very cheap premiums often don’t cover you against major illnesses if there’s a family history. They also won’t give you more if the death is accidental, and the amount of payout your family receives might not be enough for them. Ideally, a life insurance plan should payout fifteen to twenty times your annual income (with accidental deaths often paying double that).

Look into the life insurance company’s financial health

When you’re buying a life insurance plan you have to consider not just the cost of the insurance plan payout or the premiums involved, but also the overall financial health of the company providing the policy. There are independent agencies that rate insurance companies based on their financial strength and their ability to meet the demands of their current purchased policies and to fulfill their contractual obligations. Each agency has their own rating system, but it will help give you a better idea of the company’s ability to fulfill their demands.

Conversion options and privileges

Before you buy any life insurance plans, learn as much as you can about the company’s conversion options and privileges. Many young families purchase term policies, which means that the plan is offered at a certain price for a set period of time. This is appealing to young people since the plans are often cheaper, but these are temporary plans. This is when a conversion plan comes into play. Conversion plans allow you to change your term plan into a permanent plan, which will give you the security needed for you and your family as you age.
