A life insurance policy is a contract between the policyholder and the insurance company. It provides a financial benefit to the policy’s beneficiaries upon the insured person’s death.
The specific terms and components of a life insurance policy can vary depending on the type of policy and the insurer.
Here are some of the critical elements typically included in a life insurance policy:
This person owns the insurance policy and pays the premiums. The policyholder can also be the insured person or someone else, such as a spouse or family member.
This is the individual whose life is being insured. The beneficiaries are paid the death benefit upon the insured person’s death.
These individuals or entities (e.g., family members, a spouse, a trust, or a charity) are named by the policyholder to receive the death benefit when the insured person dies.
The death benefit is the money paid to the beneficiaries upon the insured person’s death. The policyholder selects the amount of the death benefit when purchasing the policy.
Premiums are the periodic payments made by the policyholder to the insurance company to keep the policy in force. The premium amount may be paid monthly, quarterly, annually, or in other intervals, depending on the policy terms.
The policy term is when the policy remains in force. Term life insurance policies have a specified term, such as 10, 20, or 30 years, while permanent life insurance policies, like whole life or universal life, can provide coverage for the insured person’s lifetime.
Life insurance comes in various types, including term and permanent life insurance. Term life insurance provides coverage, while permanent life insurance provides lifelong coverage and may include a cash value component.
Some permanent life insurance policies build cash value over time. The policyholder can access this cash value during their lifetime for loans, withdrawals, or to pay premiums.
If the policyholder decides to terminate the policy before the insured person’s death, they may receive a surrender value, which is the cash value minus any applicable fees or penalties.
Riders are optional policy enhancements that can be added to the base policy for an additional cost. Common riders include accidental death benefit riders, disability income riders, and long-term care riders.
Life insurance policies may have exclusions that limit coverage in certain circumstances. For example, a suicide clause may limit coverage within the first two years of the policy.
After the policy has been in force for a specified period (typically two years), the insurance company cannot contest the policy’s validity or refuse to pay the death benefit based on misstatements or omissions in the application.
The specifics of a life insurance policy can vary from one insurer to another. It is essential for individuals to thoroughly review and understand the terms and conditions of their life insurance policy and seek legal help from an experienced Jacksonville life insurance claims law firm to clarify any details that are not clear — or that are being disputed by the insurance company.
