Life Insurance

At the CKS Insurance Agency, we enjoy helping our clients in California get life insurance protection for their loved ones.

Thinking about life insurance can be a bit confusing because there are many kinds of life insurance available. That is why it is helpful to consult with an insurance agent to understand the details and get adequate life insurance coverage that you can rely on. Below are a few of the life insurance policies we offer:

Whole Life

This is life insurance that builds up cash value over time. It is meant to be carried for a lifetime with the monthly premiums remaining the same. The cash value can be borrowed against or used to pay premiums.

Term Life

This type of insurance provides protection for a specific period that can be from five to twenty-five years in five-year increments. It does not build cash value; however, premium costs are lower.

Universal Life

This insurance has investment qualities. It offers a guaranteed death benefit and level premium payments. A portion of the premiums is invested. This provides a return to build up cash value. This increase in value is tax-deferred until the policy matures. Any withdrawals or borrowing against the cash value, up to the amount of premiums paid in total, are tax-free.

A death benefit is paid, if a person dies during the policy term. If a person lives past the maturation of the policy term, the insured person receives the cash value that remains in the insurance policy account. This is usually less than the death benefit; however, it does provide a future windfall for those that live longer than the policy term.
