The BEST insurance is
the kind that is there when you need it.
We build our homes on strong foundations
to insulate our families and possessions against the elements.
Our careers are built upon a strong foundation of education, determination
and experience.
When you are building your conservative
financial foundation, why not proceed with the same level of prudence
and certainty.
Our permanent whole life insurance
contract is to an insurance strategy what a steel beam is to a
building lifelong stability and protection. It says that
with certainty you can count on this permanent cash value life
insurance to assist with:
Income replacement in the
event of the breadwinner's death
Your most valuable financial asset is likely to be your income
from work. In the event of your premature death, the tax-free
death benefit can be an invaluable ingredient toward replacing
that critical income stream.3
Provide a college education
for your children
The quality of the future that awaits your children will largely
be dependent upon the post-secondary education that they receive.
Give them a leg up on the future by providing some assistance
toward the end.
Retire the mortgage on the
family home
The family home represents the standard of living that you have
earned for your family. The knowledge that your family can remain
in that home, even after the death of the breadwinner, can provide
peace of mind.
Future collateral needs
The cash value component of a whole life policy can be valuable
collateral, should you have future financial needs.
Advantages
of Whole Life Insurance
Insurance that can last a
lifetime
You can be secure in the knowledge that your coverage will never
cease, regardless of outside influences, so long as you pay the
premiums outlined in the contract.
Premium payments that are
fixed over an entire lifetime
External factors, such as the interest rate environment or the
stock market will not affect the required premiums. They are clearly
stated in the contract and will never change.
Cash value that grows tax-deferred
The ability to conservatively accrue cash value is assured by
continued premium payments. The cash value will increase on the
contract anniversary, at a rate outlined in the contract. No taxes
are due on this growth of cash value.1
Non-guaranteed features
You are eligible to receive dividends under the contract. Although
dividends are not guaranteed, they can increase the death benefit
in cash value. American National Insurance Company determines
actual dividends earned.
The ability to receive a loan
on cash values
You can obtain funds from the contract's available cash value
to meet emergencies or anticipated needs.
A tax-free death benefit that
passes directly and discreetly to your named beneficiary
Life insurance is not a matter of public record. Upon the death
of the insured, the death benefit will be paid to the beneficiary
once appropriate documentation is provided to American National
Insurance Company.2
Whole Life Insurance
can handle the contingencies of life
"What happens if I live
a longer life than anticipated?"
Great! you have a conservative source to supplement your income
that can help yo sustain your standard of living throughout your
retirement.
"What happens when I
die?"
Your beneficiary will immediately receive the tax-free death benefit
guaranteed by the contract. Those dollars can then be used for
whatever purpose the beneficiary deems appropriate.
"What happens if I'm
forced to discontinue premium payments?"
After several years, the cash value of your contract should be
able to keep the contract in force for a period of time
possibly a long time. At some point, the contract will have a
substantial number of years of paid-up insurance. No additional
premiums will be necessary to keep the contract in force, on a
reduced paid-up basis or extended term basis, although cash values
may be drawn down. Existing loans, new loans and loan interest
will draw down the cash value at a faster rate.
