Universal Life, Limited guarantees and the premium presented to the prospect is usually set by the agent. Funds accumulate in contract based on insurance companies declared rate. Very few UL policies have guarantees other than the good name of the company. Most UL I have seen are under funded.

Variable Universal Life, same as universal life except the funds are invested in separate accounts (like a variable annuity). Once again limited guarantees.

Single premium products. It is possible to buy single premium whole life, universal life and variable universal life. The value to this concept is with the correct policy you can give your prospects a fully guaranteed contract that will never require funding in the future. There are some variations that will not fully guarantee future results so always do the correct due diligence.

Life Insurance Sales Opportunities

1. Exchange: Life insurance cash value will transfer to an annuity without any tax liability. 1035 exchange

2. Remix: Sometimes you can use the cash value in an old policy to purchase a new life insurance contract. The purpose would be to have a paid up policy (no more premiums), remove any loans (forgiven) or to increase the ultimate death benefit to the beneficiary.

3. Policy loans: If you are lucky to find a policy loan on a life insurance policy, it is free money. Here is how that works, you can tell the client that you will get the loan forgiven. Most larger life policies are there for a long gone reason and the need for life insurance at this stage is less. Have the insurance company readjust the cost basis and forgive the loan. This changes the amount of non-taxable dollars but if it is paid out as a death claim it is tax free. If the need for life insurance no longer exists, have the life insurance company forgive the loan and 1035 the new basis to the annuity company. You sell this concept on two levels, loans go away and you use the exclusion ratio for their illustrated payout when the need arises for income. Easy sale and the loan going away will make the client love you and hate their insurance agent.

4. Annuity Change: If you find an annuity whose current purpose is to transfer the proceeds to a beneficiary, consider this. The tax deferred portion of an annuity is taxable as ordinary income to the beneficiary. So determine the taxable portion of the annuity, cash it in (withhold the tax liability for client) send the funds to a paid up policy with the cash value still available. When these proceeds are paid to the beneficiary they will be paid tax free. Just compare the future value of the life insurance with the after tax benefit of the annuity.
