The insurability factor of a Juvenile Policy

Secondarily, the easiest time to get a life insurance policy in childhood. Juvenile Policy secures insurability for as long as the policy stays in force. Many people start seriously thinking about a life insurance policy after their first heart attack. At that point it becomes very difficult to be insurable at a decent rate. Most companies will actually not want to insure you at all. However, if you have a Juvenile Policy, then it is one less thing to worry about later in your life.

Tax advantages

Your child’s money grows tax deferred in such a policy. Using your cash value in the form of a policy loan, which you later repay allows you to benefit from the accrued interest and dividends tax free. Loans are not considered income and a policy loan does lower the potential death benefit payout, but does not effect the cash value growth. Most insurance companies will allow your policy to grow according to original schedule.
