Which Life Insurance Policy should I choose. Page 2
You also must consider that your family still needs your income after your death. You need a policy the proceeds of which can be paid out in the form of an income. The best way to do these things is to buy a life insurance policy to take care of the cash needs and another life insurance policy that would provide income at your death. In either case the most commonly used policies are the 20 year term life, the 25 year term life or the 30 year term life insurance policies.
Some people like universal life insurance, variable life insurance, variable universal life insurance or whole life insurance. These life insurance policies include cash values which you could use during your lifetime.
Business Life Insurance Needs
Small business owners needs for life insurance policies differ from individual need or family protection needs even though the focus still is in the surviving family. A corporation or a business partnership would buy a life insurance policy ( secured loans ) on each of the partners or stock holders that would provide sufficient cash to buy a deceased partners or stock holders shares from his or her heirs. A buy sell agreement is drawn up by an attorney. It is funded by life insurance and is binding. Most business people use 20 year term life insurance policy or the 30 year term life insurance policy for this. Any of the permanent cash value policies can also be used.
Business owners may also buy life insurance to protect the business against ( personal loans ) the loss of a valuable key employee. The business would own the policy and also be the beneficiary. Upon the death of the key employee the cash from the life insurance policy would be used to help the business stay afloat while they search for a capable replacement.
