Life insurance provides a death benefit for the policy’s beneficiaries. Life insurance policies come in a number of forms, including cash value life insurance which provides permanent coverage with a savings component.
What Is Cash Value Life Insurance?
Cash value life insurance is a form of permanent life insurance that contains a cash value savings component. The cash value is used in a number of ways by the policy holder. These include taking a loan against the policy’s cash value, withdrawing it or using it to reduce the policy’s premiums.
