What type of life insurance allows for flexible premiums and adjustable death benefits?

Whole Life
Universal Life
Term Life
Endowment Life

The correct answer is: Universal Life

Universal Life insurance is designed with flexibility in mind, allowing policyholders to adjust their premiums and death benefits over time. This adaptability means that as a policyholder’s financial situation changes, they can modify their contributions and the coverage amount to better meet their needs. Premiums can vary; the policyholder has the option to pay more than the minimum required, which can contribute to the policy's cash value, or pay less in some periods, though doing so may affect the death benefit or policy continuation. Additionally, the death benefit amount in Universal Life insurance can typically be increased or decreased, providing further flexibility compared to more rigid options like Whole Life insurance, which has fixed premiums and benefits. Term Life policies do not have a cash value component and are strictly for a set term, while Endowment Life is focused on accumulating savings to pay out a specified amount at maturity rather than offering flexible premium payments. Thus, Universal Life uniquely combines these elements of flexibility, accommodating changing life circumstances and financial goals.
