What is a Whole Life Plan?
A whole life plan, also known as a whole life insurance policy, is a type of life insurance that provides coverage for the entire lifetime of the insured individual, as long as the premiums are paid. Unlike term life insurance, which provides coverage for a specified period, whole life insurance is designed to remain in force for the entire life of the policyholder.
Whole life plans are often considered a form of permanent life insurance because they provide lifelong coverage and build up cash value. They are commonly used for estate planning, wealth transfer, providing financial security for dependents, and creating a source of tax-advantaged savings.
