California Term Life Insurance Basics:
• Coverage for a “term” or period of your life.
• Lower premiums for higher coverage.
• Rates can change after specific terms expire.
• No equity – cannot be used as cash value.

California Whole Life Insurance Basics:
• Exactly like it says – permanent, not for a specific period.
• Protection carries with you your whole life.
• Can build equity and have cash value.
• Higher premiums than term life, but can be more valuable in the long run.

When to choose term life?
Most people choosing term life have a strategy for long term net worth. They need specific coverage for a period of their lives to protect debt, loved ones, and children. For a homeowner with children it might make sense to have a term life policy to cover the mortgage and living needs until their children are old enough to provide for themselves – in this case the term would expire around the time your children move out.

When to choose whole life?
Whole life can be used in the retirement years as cash assets. It can provide equity for loans and have fixed payments that do not increase with time. Many times whole life policies will pay dividends - although not always.
