What Types of Life Insurance Are Available in Montana?
When it comes to life insurance policies, insurance companies know that a one-size-fits-all policy won't work so there are many different types of insurance policies to choose from. Below is a list of the most common types:
- Term life policy: This is a policy purchased for a specified period of time, such as one year, five years, 15 years, 30 years, or a term to a specified age. While the most common policy term is 20 years, most insurance companies don't offer life insurance for policy that ends after one's 80th birthday.
- Permanent life insurance: This is a permanent policy, that lasts until your death. This coverage, also called whole life insurance, remits a death benefit to your chosen beneficiaries. There are three major types of permanent life insurance: traditional whole life, universal life and variable universal life, and there are variations within each type.
There are many other types of policies available, so you'll need to speak to an insurance agent to find out which type of policy is best for you.
