What is paid up value in insurance policy?

When a policy is taken out, it is taken out with an agreed sum assured. If you allow your policy to lapse due to the stopping of premium payments then the sum assured is reduced to give you a lower value (this is seen as a contract breach and is effectively the penalty you have to pay)The reduced sum assured is referred to as "the paid up value"


What is floater policy in insurance?

The term, "floater" generally refers to a policy that is issued to cover specific, high value items. Ordinarily, a homeowners policy, for example, provides only a fixed and limited amount of coverage for all jewelry, and a lower amount for any particular item of jewelry. If you have an item that is worth more than the item limit of the policy, you can insure it for its full value by insuring it on a floater. You will pay a separate premium for that policy, and it may be issued by a different insurer.


Can Adjustable whole life policies decrease in face value but premiums remain the same And in order to keep your face value you have to purchase a new policy?

By Adjustable Whole Life do you refer to a Universal Life policy??? When any policy is tied to interest rates (Not talking securities here) it can effect the longevity of the poilcy just like taking loans can. If the premium is adjustable and you don't pay the target premium, your policy will fall short. When you bought your policy interest rates may have been up. The recommended premium (target) may have been $75/mo but because of the interest rates or your finances at the time you may have only been paying $50/mo. You after time kept this up and adjusted your thinking to this being the required premium (Generally speaking here...this is what I see often). Now that you are older, interest rates are lower, and your mortality is higher, there is not enough cash value to draw on to offset the lower premiums you have been paying. Now the solution is...pay higher premiums to keep the policy going...or, you may be able to reduce the face to an amount that reflects the premiums you are accustomed to paying. I Strongly question the idea of buying a new policy!!!!! What reasons are given? If you do qualify, you are older now, premiums will be higher, you will need to be underwritten again and there will be another 2 year contestibility period. Is it all in your best interest or will it genertate new 1st year premiums for your agent? 4lifeguild (ignore spelling errors)


What components make up a low cost whole of life policy?

To lower the cost of a Whole Life policy you can opt for TPL rider: This rider provides additional coverage through the annual purchase of a combination of oneyear term insurance and additional amounts of permanent, paid-up whole life insurance. Throughout the life of the contract, the TPL premium is used to purchase an increasing amount of paid-up additions and a decreasing amount of term insurance. It is intended that TPL paid-up additions and policy dividend additions will eventually accumulate to a point where the term portion is no longer needed.
