Universal Life Insurance

Life insurance offers residents of Novi flexibility, and with universal life insurance there are additional choices to help meet their needs. The following features and benefits are available to you, some of which are optional and come at additional cost. An income-tax-free death benefit. Death benefit proceeds can be used to pay down debt, supplement college expenses, business succession planning, and/or final expenses. But the protection goes beyond life insurance, so you can address several of your financial concerns with one policy. Protection of accumulation potential, too. In universal life insurance policies, your cash value has the potential to accumulate based on positive changes in an external market index – and is guaranteed to never decrease due to market volatility (although certain fees and charges will decrease cash value). Protection of purchasing power. Some universal life products provides an annual interest credit to the policy based on any positive changes in the Consumer Price Index through an optional rider (which is available at an additional cost). That helps protect your purchasing power in times of high inflation. life insurance

Custom-fit your coverage

Fixed Index Life Insurance may be a good fit if you need life insurance and like the opportunity to accumulate cash value for future needs. The potential cash value can be accessed income-tax-free for various purposes, such as supplemental college funding or retirement income – and can also be protected from the effects of inflation. This is an example of a FIUL policy’s profile. Issue age 0-80 Risk classes

  • Non Tobacco (ages 18-80): Preferred Plus, Preferred, Standard
  • Tobacco (ages 18-80): Preferred Tobacco, Standard Tobacco

Minimum premium Based on age, gender, risk class, death benefit, and riders, but never less than $25/month, $300/year. At age 120 When the insured turns 120, the death benefit equals the accumulation value. All loans will be allocated to the fixed allocation and will be charged the preferred loan rate. No premium will be accepted after age 120, unless it’s necessary to keep the policy in force, and no deductions or charges will be assessed after the insured reaches age 120. Premium Deposit Fund (PDF) Rider (available at no additional cost) Combines all of the advantages of life insurance with the simplicity of a single lump-sum payment. By submitting a lump-sum amount to the PDF, we’re able to automatically transfer your annual premium payments into your life insurance policy for you. This feature is available at no additional cost.
