Whole Life Insurance
Whole life insurance is a form of life insurance meant to protect you throughout the entirety of your life. Similar to other life insurance products, it accrues a financial cushion to protect your loved ones in the event of your passing. This includes payments toward taxes, debts, and funeral costs.
Permanent life insurance has a secondary benefit, which is the accumulation of funds to be used before your life ends. Many whole life insurance policy holders choose to utilize cash payouts as a means of padding retirement funds.
When you select your policy, you can choose between insurance protection of anywhere from $25 thousand to $20 million. Your coverage depends on your lifestyle, family size, and what you would like to use your policy for down the road. Your Ron Johnston broker can help you determine the best policy for your needs.

What Does Whole Life Insurance Cover?
Whole life insurance provides several types of coverage, including protection in the event of death, as well as cash value for future financial endeavors.
When you create your permanent life insurance policy you may choose to cover yourself as an individual, yourself and your spouse as a couple, or your family as a unit. You may choose between:
- Joint first to die coverage– First to die coverage pays to loved ones at the first death in a joint whole life insurance policy. It helps cushion lost wages and pay for funeral arrangements, and debts.
- Last to die coverage– Last to die coverage pays the whole life insurance benefit on the last death in a joint policy. This supplies money toward costs associated with the estate and supplies financial support to family for other financial needs.
A standard whole life insurance plan is not only an insurance policy extending the life of the insured, but an investment. Over your life, the savings benefit of your policy grows, providing a large sum to your family at the end of your life, or it can be used during your life for needs such as purchasing a home, retiring, or paying for a child’s education.
The premiums on your permanent life insurance policy cannot be changed by your insurer. They will only fluctuate if you alter the policy yourself.
As with most life insurance policies, insurance companies look at certain criteria when determining your eligibility and whole life insurance quotes. These factors include:
- Age
- Weight
- Current medical conditions
- Lifestyle choices (smoking, drinking, and drugs)
- Credit
- Criminal history
It is not impossible to get whole life insurance coverage if you have previous medical conditions or lead a dangerous lifestyle. However, your coverage may be less, and your premiums may be higher.
