Life Insurance Quote

Life Insurance

Life insurance is a contract between the insurance company and the insured where the insurance company gives consent to pay a certain amount of money to the policy holder or his/her next to kin upon his death or incurable illness or dangerous illness. The policy holder in return pays a predetermined amount of money to the insurance company either on lump sum basis or at regular intervals.

Exclusions

Exclusions are normally included in the contract to limit the insurance company’s liability. Some of these are fraud, riot, suicide, war, and civil tumult.

Types of Life Insurance Coverage

Life insurance coverage offered by Greene-Niesen Insurance is divided into following subclasses.

• Term Insurance

• Time or length of policy
• Premium or cost of policy to be paid

Whole Life Coverage

This insurance policy offers specific guaranteed death benefits in the form of cash values on fixed or variable annual premiums. The insurance company provides predetermined cash values only to the beneficiaries after the death of policy holder.

Permanent Life Insurance

This type of life insurance remains in line until the insurance policy matures or expires. The insurance company cannot cancel this policy in any case except fraud.

Universal Life Insurance

This type of life insurance provides long-lasting insurance coverage with greater flexibility in the premium costs and has the potential for better expansion of cash values. E.g. variable life insurance, traditional fixed life insurance; equity indexed universal life insurance, and guaranteed death benefit.

Accidental Death

This type of insurance provides coverage to the beneficiaries when the policy holder passes away due to an accident. It only covers accidents.

Cost

Cost is calculated by adding up the face amount to be paid, administrative cost, and its profit. Usually mortality tables (probability, and statistical based) calculated by actuaries are used to determine the insurance cost.
