    Although the death of a child is not something that most parents want to think about it, it is something that thousands of parents go through each year. Although no amount of money can replace a child’s life, life insurance can provide time away from work during a time of immense grief. Life insurance for a child can also be something that you set up for your child as a gift for their future. Since life insurance premiums are mostly based on age and health, a child will qualify for the best rates. Many parents and grandparents set up life insurance policies for a child because they can lock in low rates and then pass those policies onto their children when they get older.

    A parent, grandparent, or legal guardian can buy life insurance for a child. The cost varies depending on age and whether you buy whole life or term life. If you buy a whole life insurance policy, then it will last for your child’s lifetime, as long as the premiums are paid. In many cases, the policy can reach a point where it is paid up and premiums no longer have to be paid.

    There are two main types of life insurance- term life and whole life. Term life insurance is temporary insurance that will last for a certain amount of time, or term. Whole life is permanent insurance that builds cash value.

    How does whole life insurance build cash value? Whole life insurance will last for your entire lifetime, as long as you continue to pay your premiums. The fixed premiums are higher than a term life policy and that’s because a portion of your premiums are invested by the carrier. You can look at it as a built in savings element or, as some people refer to it, “forced savings.”As you pay your premiums, your policy will build cash value. This cash value is tax deferred until you decide to withdraw or borrow against it. If you die, your beneficiaries receive the death benefit, which is the face amount of the policy.

    If you withdraw your cash value without surrendering the policy, then you are essentially borrowing against your life insurance policy. The carrier will charge you a specified interest rate until the money is returned to the policy. Any money that is owed at the time of the insured’s death is subtracted from the death benefit.

    Whole life cash value insurance has advantages and disadvantages. One advantage is that the premiums are level for life. A whole life policy also has the ability to build cash value, tax-deferred. A disadvantage is that it costs much more than term life insurance. You should weigh the pros and cons of whole life insurance for your particular situation. Be sure to speak with an experienced agent to determine which type of life insurance is best for you.
