Types of Universal Life Insurance
Universal Life Insurance has three types: Single Premium, Fixed Premium and Flexible Premium.
Single Premium Universal Life Insurance is also called as Modified Endowment Contract (MEC) due to the revision of the tax code. It is paid by a single initial payment. Payments must be paid in five or less years.
Fixed Universal Life Insurance is paid for by periodic premium payments. The payments are made within a short period of time.
Flexible Premium Universal Life Premium permits the policyholder to see how much they want to pay each time the premium is due. They also offer two death benefit options: Level death benefit and level amount at risk.
