life insurance

 Indexed universal life insurance combines the death benefit protection of permanent life insurance with the potential for cash value growth linked to the performance of an underlying market index.  The death benefit proceeds of your policy are generally transferred tax-free to your beneficiaries.  While IUL policies offer tax-deferred cash value growth potential, your premium is not invested directly in the market and is 100% protected from loss associated with the market.

Long-term care (LTC) is a range of services and supports you may need to receive personal care such as bathing, dressing or transferring. This support may be provided informally by friends or family members or by professionals in a home-based setting or residential setting. Today, most long-term care takes place in the home. Chances are you’ll need long-term care in your lifetime, and planning now can ensure that your care preferences are carried out in the future. 

Under federal regulations, to qualify for long-term care benefits, a U.S.-licensed health care practitioner3 must certify either: Severe cognitive impairment Lack of memory; orientation; sense of person, place or time; abstract reasoning; or judgment relating to safety (dementias, including Alzheimer's, would qualify) OR Inability to perform 2 activities of daily living (ADLs) The 6 ADLs are bathing, continence, dressing, eating, transferring (out of bed, chair or wheelchair), using the toilet. 

LTC is expensive — and the cost continues to grow. 

The expenses associated with long-term care are expected to increase significantly over the next 20 years.

Medicaid and Medicare are not realistic solutions.

Long-term care coverage can help provide for options and resources not typically available through these programs.

 Provides level term insurance on the life of each child the insured has. If proof of death is received while the rider is in effect, the specified death benefit will be paid out to the beneficiary. The death must occur while the child is at least 15 days old and before the policy anniversary following the child’s 25th birthday.

The FBR provides a disability benefit while current costs of insurance and expense charges are being waived, but not beyond age 65. It is available only on the primary insured and when Waiver of Monthly Deductions Rider is included. It is designed to be used to complete a savings program in the event of disability. 

Provides the option to increase death benefit coverage by a specified amount without evidence of insurability on the policy anniversaries nearest the insured’s specific ages identified as outlined by the rider.  Available with all death benefit options 

 This Rider can only be added at issue. This Rider can be added to extend the guarantee up to age 120. If, on any Monthly Anniversary after the No Lapse Guarantee Period, the Premium Guarantee Account (referred to as PGA) is greater than or equal to the Policy Debt, then the Policy will not enter the Grace Period, even if the Net Cash Surrender Value is insufficient to pay the Monthly Deduction. This Rider does not prevent the Policy from entering the Grace Period during the No Lapse Guarantee Period.  The Premium Guarantee Account (PGA) will be used to determine if the Premium Guarantee Rider remains in effect. As long as PGA, less loans, is positive or zero, and the policy is beyond the initial NLG period, the policy stays in force even if the Net Cash Surrender Value is insufficient to pay the Monthly Deduction 

Waive the monthly deduction while the Insured is totally disabled and according to the following: 1. If total disability begins before age 60, we will waive the monthly deduction for each policy month. If total disability extends to age 65, we will waive all further monthly deductions regardless of disability status. 2. If total disability begins on or after age 60, we will waive the monthly deduction up to age 65. 

 If total disability begins before policy age 60, this rider waives the payment of each premium that becomes due after 180 consecutive days of total disability while the insured continues to be totally disabled. OR If total disability begins on or after policy age 60, this rider  waives the payment of each premium that becomes due after 180  consecutive days of total disability while the insured continues to  be totally disabled for the longer of the period of time prior to  the policy anniversary on  which the insured reaches policy age 65  or a period of two years.

Selection of this option removes all surrender charges that are normally applied on surrenders and partial withdrawals.
