Wealth protection

Step 2 of 3 · Learn

Protect what your income makes possible.

Start with the death benefit your family may need, then shape the policy around your budget and long-term plans.

The benefit and the boundary

What this path can do—and what to verify.

The strongest policy conversations put practical value and contract conditions side by side.

Potential value
  • Replace income for people who depend on you
  • Help cover a mortgage, debts, education, or final expenses
  • Provide beneficiary liquidity for family or business needs
  • Create a legacy through a death benefit that is generally free of federal income tax
What to verify
  • Coverage continues only while the policy remains in force
  • The proposed amount should be supported by an actual needs analysis
  • Level and increasing death-benefit options affect cost and cash-value potential differently
  • Loans, withdrawals, and accelerated benefits can reduce what beneficiaries receive

Answers for your selected goal

The three questions that shape this design.

01
Who relies on your income?

List the people who rely on your income and estimate the duration and amount of support each may need.

02
Which obligations should be covered?

Include mortgages, debts, education goals, final expenses, business obligations, and any legacy objective—then subtract resources already available.

03
How long should protection last?

Match the coverage period to the need. Permanent coverage can fit a lifelong need, while term insurance may be more efficient for a temporary one.

Your chosen starting point

What to focus on first.

These are the design decisions that matter most for your selected priority. They should be clearly shown in the carrier illustration and issued contract.

01

Coverage first

The foundation is a death benefit designed to help replace income and protect the plans that matter.

02

Flexible design

Your premium, death-benefit option, and riders can be tailored within carrier and underwriting limits.

03

A policy you can review

Regular reviews help keep funding, performance, and protection aligned as your life changes.

Keep the whole policy in view

One priority changes the design—not the fundamentals.

Your policy still needs to balance protection, charges, funding, index-crediting terms, and access. Improving one outcome can change another.

Protection is the foundation

The policy must remain adequately funded and in force for the death benefit to be available.

Riders have definitions

Living-benefit access depends on a qualifying event and the exact terms of the issued contract.

Cash value takes time

Policy charges, crediting terms, funding, and performance determine how value develops.

Your personalized illustration should show

See the assumptions, guarantees, and tradeoffs in one place.

  • Initial and future death benefit
  • Premium schedule
  • Guaranteed and non-guaranteed values
  • Current charges and policy assumptions
  • Policy duration under less favorable assumptions
  • What happens if premiums or credits differ
