One of the benefits that a Alaska whole life insurance offers is the level guaranteed death benefit. Unless the guaranteed death benefit is part of the estate, it is usually free from Federal income tax. Death benefit cannot be cancelled so long as required premium is continuously being paid. The whole life insurance premium remains level. This means that it never increase unless policy owner has a modified whole life insurance policy. Unlike term life insurance policy, whole life insurance policy has cash value component where policy owners can take a loan without tax. If the policy owner has a participating whole life insurance policy, he/she can earn dividends when the life insurance company declares it. Dividends depend on the life insurance companies’ experience and performance. Whole life insurance policy is also flexible. There are certain modifications and derivations from whole life insurance policy like the modification life policy, single premium life insurance policy and limited payment policy. There are also different riders that you can add to your whole life insurance policy such as waiver of premium, accidental death benefit, term life insurance, living benefit rider, spouse & children riders and future policy purchase riders.
