TERM LIFE INSURANCE
(Form TR-ART, ART3, GART3C)
Timely Death Benefit
American National's term life insurance
products offer a competitive array of level death benefit
coverages, with various permium payment alternatives. These
plans can provide the solutions to many of the financial
problems that would be caused by premature death. They provide
large amounts of coverage for various specific periods of
time. As term insurance, they are designed to meet protection
needs that are temporary. As life insurance, they provide
the special benefits described in the following paragraphs:
-
Tax-free benefit.
No other product will provide such a large, instant
cash windfall, income-tax free, at the very time it
is needed most. (IRC Sec. 101 life insurance proceeds
are generally held to be tax-free).
-
Benefit is paid
immediately. Your beneficiary will receive the policy
proceeds without the inconveniences of the probate process.
-
Financial privacy.
Life insurance is not a matter of public record. Your
beneficiary will receive the death benefit discreetly
upon your death.
-
Premium payments.
After an initial specified period, the life insurance
benefits provided by these plans may be kept in force
by the payment of increasing premiums through age 95.
No additional evidence of insurability will be required
after your policy is issued.
-
Convertibility.
An attractive alternative to the increasing cost of
term coverage is the ability to convert that coverage
to permanent life insurance. These term products contain
a conversion option which you may exercise during the
policy's early years, depending on your age and the
term policy you choose. Check your policy for conversion
details. This conversion privilege allows you to convert
to a permanent policy without furnishing additional
evidence of insurability. American National offers a
wide array of competitive permanent insurance plans
with level premiums and tax-favored cash accumulation
potential.
-
Preferred ratings
available. If you're applying for at least $100,000
of coverage, you may qualify for one of the company's
"preferred" underwriting ratings, thereby
reducing your premium.
Added Benefit
Riders
If you qualify, the following riders
can be added to your policy for an additional premium:
-
Disability Waiver
of Premium. Your policy's premium will be waived
if you become disabled. (Disability must be continuous
for at least six months and begin before age 60.) (Form
LPW84)
-
Accidental Death
Benefit. Provides an additional amount payable in
the event of your death as the result of an accident.
(Form DAM84)
-
Children's Term
Rider. Insures each child age 15 days through 18
years at issue while the benefit is in force. Coverage
on each child terminates at age 25, but each $1,000
of coverage may be converted to as much as $5,000 of
permanent insurance without evidence of insurability.
(Form CTR88)
-
Spouse Term Rider.
Provides a level amount of insurance on the life of
your spouse, until the spouse attains age 95. Death
benefit cannot be less than $25,000 or more than the
death benefit on the primary insured. Can be converted
to a permanent policy during the rider's first 12 years
(or prior to spouse's age 65, if earlier. (Form SARTR94)
A two-year suicide provision
is included in policies (one year in Colorado and North
Dakota). If a policyholder commits suicide during the first
two policy years, only a refund of premiums will be made.
(Missouri requires coverage for acts of suicide, unless
it can be proven that the insured intended suicide at the
time the application was completed). The foregoing is neither
a contract nor an offer to contract, but is a general description
of benefits available under a policy providing the benefits
outlined. The exact provisions, terms and conditions of
the contract are set forth in detail in an such policy as
may be issued.
Financial Objectives
Most people want to accomplish one or
more of these financial objectives:
- Providing for the ongoing living
expenses of family members in the event of a breadwinner's
death
- Making sure a child's dream of a
college education will come true
- Making sure your home is paid for
and that you and your family get to live there for as
long as you want.
- Money at retirement to do the things
you've always wanted to do
Goals
We believe an ideal financial strategy
should:
- Be self completing
- Allow you to make flexible payments
over the years
- Grow steadily and dependably at
a competitive rate of interest, comparable to or better
than certificates of deposit
- Grow tax-deferred
- Minimize the amount of taxes you
pay and maximize the dollars that stay in your pocket
and the pockets of your family members.
