Universal Life Insurance in Maryland
Many people in Maryland first ask about universal life insurance because of guaranteed universal life, which can offer a lifetime death benefit with less emphasis on cash value than whole life. No two households in Maryland, a Mid-Atlantic state wrapped around the Chesapeake Bay, carry quite the same obligations, which is why universal life insurance is best sized one family at a time. Surrender charges commonly apply in the early years, so universal life suits goals you expect to keep in place for the long term. If the mortgage is the biggest bill in your household, universal life insurance can be sized so the balance could be paid down or kept current if your income stopped. Many universal life policies let you choose a level death benefit or one that increases along with the cash value. Planners in Maryland who want flexibility in premium payments often compare universal life side by side with whole life and IUL.
