Many people in Broward County, Florida, first ask about universal life insurance because of guaranteed universal life, which can offer a lifetime death benefit with less emphasis on cash value than whole life. Life in Broward County, Florida, which includes Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, and Pembroke Pines, looks different from one household to the next, and the universal life insurance you choose should reflect that. Current-assumption universal life credits interest at a rate the carrier sets, subject to a guaranteed minimum, so cash value growth can change over time. If the mortgage is the biggest bill in your household, universal life insurance can be sized so the balance could be paid down or kept current if your income stopped. Many universal life policies let you choose a level death benefit or one that increases along with the cash value. Term policyholders in Broward County nearing the end of their term often compare universal life as a way to keep some coverage for life. Ask a licensed agent how universal life insurance would work for you in Broward County, Florida; nothing is binding until you apply.
