Limited payment life insurance can be considered the most comprehensive of among all types of whole life policies. With it, you get to enjoy the best of all worlds. The premium is paid within predetermined period, and the policy lasts for the rest of your life.

This type of insurance allows a shorter period of premium payment, and has a guaranteed level death benefit for as long as you are holding the policy. The face amount is paid to your beneficiary, income tax fee. You can have two types of payment options, namely monthly income, which has many different forms, or in a lump sum.

Limited payment life insurance is a type of whole life insurance, so, like all whole life insurance policies, it has cash values, which have a guaranteed minimal growth rate of interest.

This loan is usually limited to 80 per cent of the cash value. If in any case, you cannot come up with the premiums, one portion of the cash value will be used by the automatic premium loan provision to keep the policy going on.

You will also have the chance enjoy growing dividends with limited payment life insurance, which is granted depending on the performance of the insurance company.

If there is dividend earned by your policy, you have a few options to redeem it.

Paid in cash – The dividend can be paid in cash, if you choose to receive cash; the insurance provider will send you a check for the dividend pay-out.

Reduction of premiums –  You can also use your dividend to apply to the reduction of insurance premiums. The amount of money required to keep the insurance policy in force will be less compared to the premium contracted for that particular year.

Purchase of paid up additions – You can also use them to purchase paid up additions, which are single premium insurance policies of the same type as the base policy, having cash values and also participate in dividends if declared any.
