Broadly there are 3 different forms of life insurance policies.

1. Whole life policy- this policy is ( personal loans ) one where the amount of premium the policy taker requires to pay does not alter with time. The amount of the premium id decided once at the time of taking the policy. This type of insurance enables the policy taker to have some cash-build up during his lifetime that can be either used during the course of the policy or after his death to increase the benefit.

2. Term life insurance begins with low premiums initially. ( life insurance quotes ) the premium amount increases with the age of the person. since there is no cash build up in this policy, there are no chances of an increment in death benefit.

3. Variable life policy is ( loans ) akin to the whole life policy i.e. the premium is fixed once and for all. The only difference here is that in this policy there should be cash build up as long as the various mutual funds the policy taker has opted for, do well.
