Welcome to the Order, fellow knights! Ways to Pay for Whole Life We live in a world of options and are constantly bombarded by choices. Some choices make our lives more complicated but many are created with our satisfaction in mind. At the Knights of Columbus, every product we offer has been designed solely for the benefit of our members and their families. When I present an option to you, it is because a team of experts has discussed it at length to be certain it serves your best interest. We have a few options on how you can provide and pay for whole life coverage that your family needs. We offer whole life permanent coverage with guaranteed cash values (and the potential to earn dividends) through policies that offer a limited period of premium payments. First we offer 10 Pay Life and 20 Pay Life. Consider paying premiums of 10 or 20 years and never pay for the coverage again. The plan is paid up with no more premiums! A plan with similar benefits is Life Paid Up at 65. This product requires you to pay premiums until age 65. Premiums stop just in time for retirement and the plan remains in force. Finally, the ultimate in limited pay is our Single Premium Life product. Imagine buying permanent life insurance and only paying a single premium? It is possible. These are some examples of our offerings. To learn more about these products, our long-term care insurance, disability income or retirement products, please call me today.
