Our Heritage Graded Benefit Whole Life policy includes access to comprehensive funeral concierge services and support.
What is Graded Benefit Whole Life Insurance?
Graded Benefit Whole Life insurance, like Heritage Life, is tailored for individuals facing health challenges, providing accessible coverage. Heritage Life offers guaranteed benefits, a straightforward application, and fixed premiums. Partnering with Sequoia, it includes funeral concierge services, easing emotional stress and managing funeral costs efficiently for peace of mind.
How does Graded Benefit Whole Life Insurance work?
Graded Benefit Whole Life insurance offers distinct death benefit payouts, setting it apart from traditional life insurance policies. In the 1st year, beneficiaries receive a return of premium plus 5% for illness-related deaths; 2nd year, 50% of the chosen death benefit; and from the 3rd year onward, the full death benefit. Immediate access to the full face amount is granted for accidental deaths. GTL’s Heritage Life policy offers graded benefits from $2,500 to $20,000 (age 40-85) and $2,500 to $10,000 (age 86-90). Premiums remain fixed, and the straightforward application requires no medical exam.
