  • Lower Your Life Insurance  Premiums With A Smart Hybrid Policy – Protect Your Beneficiaries Better.

    Lower Your Life Insurance Premiums With A Smart Hybrid Policy – Protect Your Beneficiaries Better.

    Lower the Cost of Your Life Insurance and Protect Your Heirs the Way You Intended:

    Until now, life insurance buyers did not have an option to structure the payment of the policy’s proceeds to their beneficiaries. All that has changed – now you have the control to design the payout exactly as you want them paid. Why does this matter?

    Turning the proceeds into guaranteed payments by the insurance company LOWERS THE ANNUAL PREMIUMS as much as 40% and protects the proceeds from every kind of risk.

    Do you want the beneficiaries of your life insurance policy to receive a lump sum? One of the most important things you can do for your heirs is to protect them exactly as you intended when you decided to purchase life insurance. Remarkably, life insurance proceeds only last, on average, 3 years! Ask any parent or spouse if they INTEND the proceeds to be gone in 3 years. That is never their intention.

    The perfect plan guarantees the number of payments you choose, turning the proceeds into payments that can never be mismanaged. With interest, the insurance company makes structured payments to your beneficiaries based on the plan you create when you set up the policy. Everything is guaranteed. You can change the plan anytime.

    For example, instead of a $2,000,000 lump-sum payment, your beneficiaries can receive equal payments of $200,000 for 10 years. Or equal payments of $100,000 for 20 years. How about a plan that pays $500,000 upon death and 10 more equal payments of $150,000? Each person is different and now, each person can customize the payout to meet their precise, individual needs.

    It gets better. The premiums can be as much as 40% lower every year depending on the time frame you choose. Or, for the same premium in your current policy, you can increase the amount of insurance up to 40%!

    The “Installment Payout Option” allows the policy owner, at the point of purchase, to choose how many years to defer these payments. 

    Win –Win: You either purchase up to 40% more life insurance for the same premium as a lump-sum payout or lower your annual premiums up to 40% every year.  By choosing a greater number of payout years, the ANNUAL SAVINGS is increased.

    The surge in annuity sales over the past several years is evidence that principal protection and guaranteed results are critically important to millions of consumers.  “This groundbreaking alternative is the perfect life insurance solution”, says Ted Bernstein of Life Cycle Financial Planners. And, it is available for both term and permanent coverage.

    1. Transform lump-sum proceeds into guaranteed installments.

    2. Offers the most competitive premiums available – everything GUARANTEED.

    3. Reduces premiums as much as 40% for same amount of death benefit.

    4. Protects life insurance proceeds from market risk.

    Term Insurance Rates Are Remarkably Low! How Much Life Insurance Should You Buy? From Who?

    It is important for consumers to have a good understanding of how inexpensive term insurance really is to own. Once you engage with a professional to start the process, a robust discussion will usually follow about “how much” coverage do you need to meet your goals and objectives. From there, you should learn about state of the art innovations to reduce premiums, create value and increase flexibility. Maximum flexibility and the ability to customize for most people, is more important than anything else.

    The Installment Payout Option – Just one example: Most people buying life insurance today for income protection prefer to have the proceeds paid to their heirs in a partial lump-sum with the balance paid in equal, guaranteed installments over a time period they choose. Life insurance buyers now can control how the proceeds are paid to their beneficiaries at the time they purchase the policy. Until recently, beneficiaries were always paid in a lump-sum. Now, at the time of purchase, you instruct the insurance company to pay GUARANTEED, pre-determined payments over a time period you selected. The premiums can be up to 40% less, EVERY YEAR!

    Things change as time goes by. The Installment Payout Option allows you to re-design the structure of payments at any time to meet the needs of your family, without underwriting.

    Still, too many people are only concerned about the minimal premium differences among different insurance companies. They key is to work with a professional to first customize exactly what you need and want the policy to do in the short and long term. Not doing so is the equivalent of going into an auto dealership and demanding the least expensive car without first “building” the car to meet your unique goals and objectives. Worse is the fact that most people are not aware of these relevant innovations that can now be customized into your policy. More and more insurance companies are creating products that allow experienced professionals to design the perfect policy for you.

    I offer a complementary consultation, by phone or in person, which is designed to help you explore the innovations that now exist and to determine if I am the right professional for you. I have 30+ years of experience that will ensure you end up with the perfect plan and products for you.
