Personal Protection with 65 Life
65 Life is a good whole life insurance choice for personal protection when cash value accumulation is of prime concern. A shorter premium paying period means higher premiums and cash values build faster.
On the life of a breadwinner . . . whole life insurance protects a family’s standard of living.
On the life of a homemaker . . . it provides funds to replace lost household services and child care.
On the life of a child . . . with the Additional Purchase Benefit, it can guarantee insurability for years to come.
On the life of anyone . . . it becomes paid-up at age 65, and can be kept in force or converted to an annuity to provide retirement income.
The cash value will be available via partial surrenders or loans both for life’s emergencies and life’s opportunities. College educations may be financed, mortgages may be paid off earlier, and life during retirement may be made a little more comfortable.
- Whole life insurance premiums are guaranteed level and payable to age 65 or until death, if sooner.
- Dividends can increase your coverage or reduce your premium outlay – your choice.
- Cash values may increase faster when dividends are used to increase policy values.
- Cash values are accessible and available by either surrendering part of the coverage or via loans for emergency or opportunity.
For the business owner interested in providing benefits to executive employees, or when insuring a few key people, 65 Life may fit the bill.
Offers security and value during working years, and upon retirement age at 65 will be fully paid-up and can provide various options.
At age 65, the business has the option of surrendering the policy, transferring the policy or annuitizing the policy to fund retirement payments to an employee.
Deferred Compensation, Bonus, and Key Employee plans are often best funded with permanent, level premium products.
One of the best vehicles for fulfilling Buy-Sell agreements and Split-Dollar arrangements often turns out to be Northwestern Mutual’s 65 Life product especially when higher cash values are needed sooner.
