A client purchases a whole life policy under which all premiums will be fully paid by age 65, yet coverage continues for the rest of the insured's life. Which product does this describe?
Why this is the answer
Limited-pay whole life allows the insured to pay higher premiums for a defined period — for example, 20-Pay Life (20 years of premiums) or Life Paid-Up at 65 — after which no further premiums are required but the death benefit stays in force for the insured's entire life. The trade-off is higher premiums per year compared to ordinary whole life, offset by earlier freedom from payments and faster cash-value growth. Ordinary whole life charges premiums for life; modified whole life charges reduced premiums for a few early years, then higher; interest-sensitive whole life adjusts based on current declared rates.
