FAQ
What factors should I consider when choosing between term and whole life insurance?
Term life insurance provides coverage for a specific period and is generally more affordable, making it suitable for temporary needs like income replacement during working years. Whole life insurance offers lifelong coverage with a cash value component, serving as both a protection and investment vehicle. Consider your financial goals, budget, and the duration of coverage needed when making a decision.
How do annuities complement my retirement planning?
Annuities provide a reliable income stream during retirement, helping to mitigate the risk of outliving your savings. They can supplement other retirement income sources, offering financial stability and peace of mind.
Are life insurance benefits taxable in Michigan?
Generally, life insurance death benefits are not subject to federal or Michigan state income taxes. However, estate taxes may apply depending on the size of your estate. It’s advisable to consult with a tax professional for personalized guidance.
Can I access the cash value in my whole life insurance policy?
Yes, whole life insurance policies accumulate cash value that you can access through loans or withdrawals. Keep in mind that accessing these funds may reduce the death benefit and could have tax implications.
What is the Michigan Life & Health Insurance Guaranty Association?
The Michigan Life & Health Insurance Guaranty Association is a nonprofit organization that protects policyholders in the event of an insurance company insolvency, covering life insurance, annuities, and health insurance policies up to specified limits.
How are annuities taxed?
Earnings from annuities are tax-deferred, meaning you don’t pay taxes on the growth until you withdraw the funds. Withdrawals are typically taxed as ordinary income, and early withdrawals before age 59½ may incur additional penalties.
Can I customize my annuity to fit my retirement needs?
Yes, annuities offer various features and riders that can be tailored to your specific retirement goals, such as inflation protection, guaranteed minimum income benefits, and long-term care provisions.
How do I determine the right amount of life insurance coverage?
Assess your financial obligations, including debts, income replacement needs, education expenses for dependents, and future financial goals. A comprehensive evaluation of these factors will help determine the appropriate coverage amount to protect your loved ones.
