Reader’s Question:

Can I buy my friend here in Oklahoma a life insurance policy for her?

Graham

Lawton, OK

Unfortunately you might not, unless maybe you are able to prove that you might suffer financial loss or difficulty in the event your friend there in Oklahoma suddenly passes away. In the life insurance industry this is known as “Insurable Interest”. The only parties that are allowed to purchase life insurance for someone else are spouses, family members or relatives, business partners or any individual that will suffer financially upon the death of the insured are the ones that have “Insurable Interest” and are allowed to purchase the said life insurance party for the person they wish to give coverage.

Insurable Interest actually stems on the idea that strangers may commit murder to get death benefits or death proceeds if they are allowed to insure just anyone they wish. That would be an unacceptable amount of risk for both the individual being insured as well as towards the business of the life insurance provider itself.

You might also ask who the policy owner is if a person with sufficient “Insurable Interest” is allowed to buy life insurance coverage for someone else. The policy owner would be the one who bought the insurance (and the one who will be paying it) but the insured would, obviously, be the one who is protected under the coverage. This is important to understand since there are life insurance providers who only allows the policy holder to take money out of a cash-value life insurance policy.

Reader’s Question:

I appreciate life insurance and what it does, but I don’t know which one to get and which will be right for me. Can you help me find one in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma?

Francis

Oklahoma City, OK

Hello, Francis, how are you today in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma?

I hope this is okay with you if I first discuss briefly the types of life insurance available for you in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Life insurance generally fall into two categories namely temporary and permanent. All of which will have the standard death benefit feature which is a sum of money that will be handed out to your beneficiaries as agreed upon by you and your insurer. Under temporary life insurance, there is only one type of life insurance and this is the term life insurance. Term life insurance is the cheapest among all life insurance products but will cease to be effective after the term. Say your term life insurance is good for five years and after five years, you have not passed away yet, then you will not be able to get any benefit from your life insurance. Term life insurance will be attractive to those people with life-threatening disease, or if you have a short-term goal which you just have to protect by any means.

Permanent life insurance now has two types called universal life and whole life. Both will be effective starting from the day the life insurance policy was finalized until the day you die. Their difference lies in the manner they are handled, because universal life policies tend to have more flexibility than whole life. Whereas whole life insurance has fixed premiums and death benefit, universal life has flexible payment schemes and death benefit is subsequently adjusted, too.

Finally, you might also want to consider the cost implication of all three types on life insurance, Francis. You may be working on a budget now and it will be good for you to check out some life insurance proposals by entering your zip code on the blank space you see on this page.

Reader’s Question:

I am thinking of taking out a life insurance policy in Lawton Oklahoma  for myself. I wanted to know if there are any benefits of having a universal life insurance as to whole life insurance.

Thank you.

Mary

Lawton, OK

Well, Mary, if you are young and planning for the future but are reluctant to spend money on life insurance in Lawton because you believe you have nothing to show for it, go for a universal life insurance.

A universal life policy is definitely recommendable if you want permanent, lifetime coverage. The premiums do not increase if you renew your policy or reapply for a term insurance. A universal life insurance can help pay off debts and your mortgage. A term life insurance policy can also do that but the flexible premium payments and adjustable death benefits are not characteristics of a term life insurance policy.

A term life insurance policy does, however, provide death protection for a specific length of time and also gives the largest immediate death benefit for your money. Some policies are convertible to whole or universal even if you are not in good health.

Universal Life insurance does not offer as many guarantees as whole life does but it can be more cost-effective. All in all, it depends on your needs and your financial situation. It is not an easy decision to make as it affects your entire family not just for the present but for many years to come.

If you need to choose the best priced life insurance in Oklahoma you can shop online. It is always wise to compare rates first before you buy anything. Choose wisely!
