In Franklin County, Ohio, which includes Columbus and many of its fast-growing suburbs, universal life insurance often comes up when someone wants lifelong coverage that costs less than whole life, or more control over how much they pay each year. Many universal life policies let you choose a level death benefit or one that increases along with the cash value. 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. The cost of insurance inside a universal life policy usually rises with age, which is why funding level matters more than the minimum premium. Term policyholders in Franklin County nearing the end of their term often compare universal life as a way to keep some coverage for life. There is no office visit needed, because Franklin County callers can review universal life insurance options entirely by phone.
