Any life insurance death benefits, guarantees, or ratings are based on the claims-paying ability of the issuing life insurance company. Life insurance policies can have downsides and risks, such as the fact that policy loans accumulate interest and if not repaid, could affect the longevity of the policy, impact the cash value, and decrease or terminate the death benefit. Allowing a policy to lapse may have tax consequences.
Bank On Yourself policies that are incorrectly structured, or set up using the wrong type of life insurance, may be subject to loss of the tax benefits or other benefits mentioned. You should always work with a qualified insurance professional who is experienced with building Bank On Yourself-type policies to ensure that your policy is set up correctly to receive the benefits mentioned.
Life insurance premiums include commissions and fees, and there may be additional fees for any included riders.
Issue of a whole life policy is subject to approval via underwriting and is not guaranteed. The cost and availability of life insurance depends on factors such as age, sex, health, and the type and amount of insurance purchased. Before implementing a strategy involving life insurance, it would be wise to make sure that you are insurable by having the policy approved prior to cancelling or changing any existing coverage.
Individual circumstances vary, and Bank On Yourself-type life insurance policies are not necessarily the best fit for everyone. Your results will be different from those shown in the examples, as each Bank On Yourself plan is custom-tailored to the individual policy holder. Consult with a qualified Bank On Yourself Professional regarding your individual situation and goals, and be sure you fully understand your options before purchasing a policy.
