“Life insurance is not a gift. It’s a strategic purchase.” – UNKNOWN
Life insurance offers more than just financial protection for your loved ones in the event you pass away. It provides many other benefits that can transform your financial future. From wealth accumulation and tax advantages to legacy planning and peace of mind, life insurance is a crucial component of a comprehensive financial plan. Some of these benefits may surprise you:
- Wealth Accumulation: Certain life insurance policies, like whole life, offer a unique opportunity to accumulate wealth over time. “Life insurance is the only tool that takes pennies and makes them dollars.” – BEN FELDMAN A portion of your premium is allocated to a cash value component, which grows tax-deferred over the life of the policy. This cash value can be used in the future for needs such as education expenses or retirement income.
- Tax Advantages: Life insurance enjoys favorable tax treatment in Kenya. Policyholders can often benefit from tax-free death benefits for their beneficiaries. Additionally, certain types of policies offer tax-deferred growth on cash value accumulation, allowing you to maximize your savings potential while minimizing your tax liability.
- Legacy Planning: Life insurance is a powerful tool for estate planning.
“Life insurance is a promise to protect your loved ones when you’re no longer able to do so yourself.” – UNKNOWN
By naming beneficiaries and structuring your policy strategically, you can transfer wealth to future generations in a tax-efficient manner. This ensures that your loved ones are provided for even after you’re gone, leaving a lasting legacy of financial security and stability.
What would happen if you were unprepared and didn’t have enough life insurance coverage?
Unfortunately, the consequences can be devastating. Recent research reveals that a shocking 60% of Kenyans have no life insurance, which means their families would suffer financially if they were to pass away.
“The only way to find out if you have the right coverage is to know what you truly value.” – SUZE ORMAN
Without enough coverage, your loved ones could struggle to pay for basic living expenses, mortgage payments, and education costs, leading them into a cycle of debt and uncertainty.
