			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-88" title="buying life insurance policies" src="http://elifetrust.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/buying-life-insurance-policies-300x199.jpg" alt="buying life insurance policies" width="220" height="169" />With the changes in government policies, it has also been found that life insurance is not the most popular insurance policy. As per recent reports, it has been found that the life insurance is never the first choice of buyers. Average Americans buyers, below forty years of age, are not ready to invest in buying life insurance policies. Mostly the policies are sold through some concurrent scheme such as retail banking, franchise or others.</p>
<p>The reports also show that <a href="http://elifetrust.com/assurance/life-insurance-policies-protection-against-unforeseen-circumstances/">life insurance buyers</a> are sincere to their provider and the policy owners do not find any problems in the service provided by the insurance companies.</p>
<p>What are the main attractions of the Life insurance policies?<span id="more-87"></span></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>The price is main thing :</strong> Customers who are investing in life insurance policies want <a href="http://lifecareinsure.com/life-insurance/researching-for-best-value-in-whole-life-insurance/">insurance at a low cost</a>. Efficient service at a low cost is the need of changing market.</li>
<li><strong>Easy buying </strong>: Buyers do not want to spend money on polices, that needs their time on maintenance or various other procedures. Automatic systems are preferred over manual form filling procedures.</li>
</ul>
<p>After recession buyers are interested in investing money other different types of schemes, which secures them in case of job loss or loss in businesses and hence, life insurance is not considered very important. But, insuring life is extremely important and it can be useful to the buyer in many ways.</p>
<p>Some common reasons for buying Life insurance policies are:<br />
<img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-89" title="financial security" src="http://elifetrust.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/financial-security-300x240.jpg" alt="financial security" width="220" height="160" /></p>
<ol>
<li> Main aim for buying a life insurance policy has been to <a href="http://elifetrust.com/assurance/life-insurance-policies-protection-against-unforeseen-circumstances/">provide financial security</a> to the dependents in case of death of the policy owner. Life insurance policies taken by the main earning member of the family helps the family to retain its living standard after the death of the earning member.</li>
<li> If you are a young entrepreneur, you may wish to give your money to somebody after your death or you may want to <a href="http://lifecareinsure.com/values/gaining-cash-values-benefits-from-investing-in-life-insurance/">invest in something that give stable return</a>, which prevents you’re hard earned money from getting squandered in imperceptible ways. Life insurance policy helps people, who are earning well to invest in a policy that allows them to give the money or property to their family or to a social organization, in case of their death.</li>
<li> Many buy life insurance policies just for investment purpose and for tax saving.</li>
</ol>
<p>Generally, there are mainly three elements included in an insurance policy: the face amount, the premium amount and the time period of coverage. Most of the insurance policies in market define their <a href="http://elifetrust.com/issues/factors-in-determining-the-price-of-individual-life-insurance-policy/">insurance premium amount</a> by using a variable combination of the three parameters. There are also some insurance policies which are renewable. These policies can be renewed after a year, but the premium amount can change after a year.</p>
<p>There are many benefits of life insurance policy but it requires <a href="http://lifecareinsure.com/life-insurance/factors-to-consider-while-searching-for-life-insurance/">careful selection of a life insurance policy</a> to reap the benefits of your investments. Basically two types of insurance policies: Temporary and Permanent policy .The life insurance policies are further divided in subclasses called Term Life, Whole Life, and Universal Life and Endowment Life insurance policy.</p>
<p>It is highly advisable to engage professional  insurance representative to explain the details for each insurance policy, and get them to propose the best suit policy to you. Remember, this should be life long commitment !</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-66" title="insurance mortality table" src="http://elifetrust.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/insurance-mortality-table-189x300.jpg" alt="insurance mortality table" width="229" height="220" />The price of a life insurance policy mainly depends on various conditions such as the age, gender, health condition and use of tobacco. The cost is determined through a mortality table, which uses probability and statistics to provide the rate of premium. The morality tables are very important in American life insurance market. The tables inform about the family history and the history of the health of the person, applying for getting the insurance policy.</p>
<p>The mortality tables are separated depending on the living style of the applicant, for example, if the applicant is a smoker, he is categorized in the tobacco category, and if the person is a non smoker, he is categorized in other sections. The <a href="http://elifetrust.com/issues/factors-in-determining-the-price-of-individual-life-insurance-policy/">rate of insurance premium</a> increases with the age of the policy owner as the probability of death increases with age and the premium amount may also increases if the person is a smoker.<span id="more-65"></span></p>
<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-67" title="medical records" src="http://elifetrust.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/medical-history-records-300x200.jpg" alt="medical records" width="220" height="180" />The life insurance companies in America  give the life insurance policies to applicants after getting the reports from the Medical Information Bureau  i.e. MIB , which is a government organization that keeps the records of medical history of the people and the organization also provides information about the family history of the applicant. Life insurance companies are not bound to provide insurance policies to anyone in America and only by applying to <a href="http://lifecareinsure.com/life-insurance/factors-to-consider-while-searching-for-life-insurance/">get life insurance</a> policy, one cannot ensure to get the policy.</p>
<p>There are mainly four categories, in which the health of an individual is analyzed by the life insurance companies before the insurance is sanctioned: Preferred Best, Preferred, Standard, and Tobacco.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Preferred Best :</strong>
<ul>
<li> Preferred best is the category in which the policy holder is considered the healthiest and safest for giving a life insurance policy. A person is categorized in “Preferred Best”, if he has a good medical history and he is not taking medicine for critical health problems.</li>
<li>The family <a href="http://elifetrust.com/issues/factors-in-determining-the-price-of-individual-life-insurance-policy/">medical and health history</a> of the person is also analyzed and, the person in preferred best is said to be one, who has no adverse family medical, such as diabetes or cancer. If a person holding a preferred best goes to an adventurous trip which may cause risk to his life, the policy status is changed from preferred best to standard.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li> <strong>Preferred :</strong>
<ul>
<li> A person is categorized in the preferred category, is he is taking some medicines for a health problem or he has a family history of some medical problems.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li> <strong>Standard : </strong>
<ul>
<li>The commonest form for life insurance is Standard, in which, most of the insurance applicants are given insurance policy.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li> <strong>Tobacco :</strong>
<ul>
<li>It is the category in which, the applicant who is a smoker gets the insurance policy.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>There are also other some policies called Stranger Originated Life insurance, where a person who has no relationship with another person can take insurance policy to give benefit to the nominated beneficiary.</p>
<p>If a person is buying life insurance policy, he should be careful of many things. Life insurance policies provide tax benefits but such tax benefit also depends on the type of policy.</p>
