The universal life insurance policy, called SecureLife Plus, offers both a life and a death benefit. If you should die, your beneficiaries will receive financial protection to help pay expenses ranging from funeral costs to monthly bills. While you’re alive, the policy acts as a savings account from which you can withdraw money (although it does lower your death benefit).

SecureLife Plus offers many choices, so you should speak to your insurance agent about the policy. It features flexible payments, and a “no-lapse” guarantee for up to twenty years, so long as you always pay the minimum premium amount.

These include:
