How whole of life insurance works and how to make it cheaper than it should be.
There are similarities between whole of life insurance and term insurance in that both forms of life insurance pay out a specified sum to the bereaved when the person whose life is insured passes away. However the similarity stops there. Whole of life policies pay out whenever the insured dies, regardless of when that is, whereas term insurance policies only pay out if the insured party dies within the specified time frame of the policy.
