\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhole life insurance, as the name goes, provides the policyholder with lifetime coverage. Most whole life insurance policies cover unfortunate circumstances such as Death, Total and Permanent Disabilities, with some providing specific protection against critical illnesses.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhole life insurance has the protection and saving functions whereby it includes both non-guaranteed and guaranteed cash value. In the unfortunate event of death, the plan will pay out a lump sum. As the policy also accumulates cash value over time, the policyholder may access the cash value when needed for rainy dates. For term insurance plans, it does not have any cash value but it pays a lump sum when covered events happen during the policy term.
