Term insurance that is classified as decreasing is a form of life insurance that provides a death benefit that declines throughout the term of the contract or policy.
Decreasing term insurance does not accumulate cash value. Permanent insurance, when
properly funded, may accumulate cash value which can be used in emergencies, for life
needs, or may be accessed if the death benefit is no longer needed and the policy is
“cashed in.”
If the permanent policy has a guaranteed death benefit feature, any cash
withdrawals or loans may adversely affect the death benefit guarantee duration. Also, this
form of permanent insurance is more expensive initially and term may be a better option
for those where cash value is not important and where price of premium does matter.
Decreasing Term policies can in many ways be compared to renting a home, while permanent
insurance can be compared to owning a home.
There are other factors when evaluating any contract or policy for you, your family or your business. We are a training company that works with and trains insurance agents. We understand the rules, regulations and the suitability of these life policies.
Age and other insurance policies that you may own and investments owned can effect whether you should consider decreasing term, other term or whole life based contracts. The premium and death benefit must be matched to fit your needs specifically. Buying a low cost premium term policy when it does not meet your needs or is the wrong type of product can be harmful to you and your family.
