What kind or form of life insurance is best?

Most life insurance marketed are of the type or Temporary Annual Renewable mode (TAR), and the reason is the price since the short term is more favorable. But like the other forms of life insurance that exist, the TAR has its advantages and disadvantages. In this article, we will thresh the pros and cons of each type of life insurance, so that when you hire, values addition to price, other equally or more important concepts:

constant or fixed capital

It is kept constant throughout the duration of insurance the insured capital. In the Temporary Annual Renewable mode (TAR), if we maintain fixed or constant capital, we will reduce the price increase in the following annuities.

Capital Decreasing

It applies only in the form of Life Amortization, and that capital is decreased or amortized at the same rate as the mortgage loan (hence the product name "amortization").

Prima / constant or fixed price

It is the most important to consider from our point of view parameter, even more than the price. Because with a constant premium you avoid future surprises price increase in insurance renewal, with the danger that entails, as could be the case, the insured had contracted a serious disease, and if to keep insured, not would have no choice but to accept the rise of renewal, since with a serious illness would accept no other company hiring a life insurance, introducing the "pre-existence" of severe disease. The problem is that we can be talking about increases of up to even 50%. This happens precisely in insurance Temporary Annual Renewable mode (TAR), the best sellers. Typically, each year in the TAR raise the price of insurance around an 8 or 10%, but increases at certain ages may be even 50% as indicated above. These radical increases may be reduced in some cases making business dealings with the company a year or two, but there comes a time that no longer accept more adjustments.

lifetime duration

Does not have an expiration date or term, ie, the insurance shall remain in force until death occurs, although this originates, for instance, to 105 years.

custom duration

The conditions that offer this option calculated the cost of insurance among other variables, for the duration of the contract. Each company offers a maximum output of age for coverage of death, which the product can be up to 80 years, and all agree disability cover the maximum to 65 years.

Rescue possibility of premiums paid

It is an advantage, because if the years pass, and no longer need life insurance or financial trouble arises you, you can recover much of the premiums paid.

Real example:

    An insured hire a whole life insurance, and after 25 years for economic reasons decides to rescue.
    € 2.846,82 constant premium x 25 years = 71.170,50 € (without applying profit sharing of 25 years, which would increase the available balance).
    50.647,74 € is the maximum redemption value you can make, so you really have paid insurance for 25 years = € 71.170,50 - 20.522,76 € 50.647,74 € =

Possibility of future changes to capital or hedge

In those embodiments that allow it, the changes are implemented using a free supplement, keeping the same contract / policy. Those procedures that do not allow it require you to hire a new life insurance with the completion of a new health questionnaire, so if at the time of wanting to make the change, do not enjoy good health and have "serious pre-existing conditions" you accept the insurance premium surcharges / fees or you deny it, two things can happen.

So we will begin to remember the different types of insurance that exist, continue for life insurance.

By life insurance beneficiaries usually, dependent members of the insured may prevent the loss of income that this provided for them. Life insurance becomes part of the inheritance.

Can you return the receipt of insurance?

Life insurance products are very recognizable by the ordinary user. It is an insurance product that has accompanied us for a very long time ago, and, unlike insurance models, a product known for its presence in the insurance market, but at the same time, on which we do not know many things basic. When we want to hire a life insurance is interesting that we acquire at least basic knowledge about this type of product.

This basic knowledge should not only refer to what is and represents a life insurance, but also the different types of insurance that can be found in the market, its operation, and of course the model to which they relate in terms of recruitment , raw, etcetera.

Come on, first, to review the basics about what is and what it means life insurance, as well as basic questions about its operation.

What to consider before hiring a life insurance

What is an insurance of life

Life insurance is a personal insurance that comes to provide coverage on the risk of death of the insured, in the event of death or survival termination or expiration of the policy contracted in the case of life.

The basic parts that distinguish those involved in this insurance are insured, that is who gets the coverage and the pivots insurance, the policyholder is the undersigned insurance and is responsible for payment of the premium and, if death, need the consent of the insured for the insurance, and finally the recipient which receives the compensation that the insurance company pays if given the conditions of life or death as been hired.

It is important to note that the policy of insurance with a duration that is greater than six months may terminate this insurance within 15 days after the insurer gives the policy, the resolutions must be submitted in writing generally give coverage risk by the insurer from that date, in this case finding reimburse the premiums that had given satisfied to date.

In the case of insurance for death, the insurer solves discharge its obligation when the death of the insured occurs as circumstances expressly set out in the policies, provides the insured in general, intentionally caused by the beneficiary obviously eliminates this provision of the contract. Unless otherwise specified conditions suicide risk of the insured is covered for one year of signing the contract. Policies must expressly include redemption rights, and it can exercise from the policyholder has paid the first two installments of premiums This right of redemption is not applicable to insurance policies term life for cases of death and life insurance for life case.

Types of Life Insurance 

Temporary safe

The insurer is obliged by the insurance contract to pay a specified sum if the insured dies within a specified period of time, from a few days (a trip), several years (10 to 20) or until a certain age (65 or 75 years, according to the insurer). But if the insured does not suffer any harm during the period, the insurance company will not pay compensation.
This life insurance has the advantage of being very economical for people of young ages, but the downside is that it becomes very expensive for the elderly.

In addition, premiums, or disbursement to be made by the insured, can be:

    A growing, renewable raw: each annuity insurance varies depending on the age that is reaching the insured, according to the evolution of their mortality rate.
    A level or constant premium: where the amount has been determined that the policyholder pays in the early years a higher premium that would correspond to their age and pay less than that would apply when the passage of time insurance is more expensive.
    A declining premium: In cases where the main object is to cover the repayment of loans, the beneficiary will be the bank and the insurer covers an outstanding principal by the insured.

Whole life insurance

Here the insurer undertakes to pay a capital to the death of the insured regardless of the time of death. The consideration may be in the form of income or capital. Life insurance guarantees for life insured capital contracted. It has a high element of risk, but being certain provision also has a savings component.

The purpose of this life is to provide the family or the person named in a capital that can compensate for the loss of income due to the death of the insured, provide heirs capital that allows them to meet the expenses of transfer of property or guarantee payment of debts or mortgages without resorting to the rest of the inheritance.

Premiums, or disbursement to be made by the insured, can be:

    A lifetime bonus: paid until death
    A temporary bonus: payment of premiums is carried out for a specified period (20 or 30) but the insurance coverage extends until death occurs.

Of course, there are many different types of insurance, and we all know. But also in life insurance or associated in one way or another these are secure its own right. In this case, we will review at least three of these methods because they are the most common and presence, in some cases it has been very significant in terms of growth in recent years.

Savings insurance

Savings insurance are one of these widespread and appreciated by the saver products. They are generally safe savings cases of survival or retirement, and object obtaining capital at the end of the agreed period were marked.

The aforementioned capital consists of contributions User's profitability agreed in advance. It is a product that targets investments in the medium and long term to supplement retirement benefits or to obtain more capital deferred to future performance with the goal that the user dials.
In any case an interesting complement for those looking for such pension plans in the future, or simply for those who want to save with guarantees in a product directly associated with a life insurance product.

Mixed insurance

This is a lesser known insurance perhaps but no less interesting for profiles that may be comfortable within their coverage.
Thus the insured has to get coverage in case of death but a benefit is also ensured if survival at the age present in the contract, the first case, that of death, are the beneficiaries of the insured who perceive coverage as a benefit.

Annuities

Annuities have different models proposed, but generally, what we propose is the public capital contribution of a single premium payment for a specified period.

The annuity is therefore, proposes a payment of specific amounts from the expiration of the insurance and alive while the insured, the amount of the sales can be fixed or variable.
    The temporary income on their part and as the name suggests what we are proposing is to receive a pension predetermined in advance for a certain time.

This insurance usually associated largely to supplement pension schemes or very intended to be redeemed at the time of retirement, as they can provide an excellent complement to the pension public retirement and that the user does not lose competitiveness in their reference salary for their job performance.

The storage rooms and home insurance

If you have storage room or garage / storage, we recommend that you check if your home insurance covers it, and above all, until capital offers you coverage.

In some insurance, storage rooms are included by default, to be seen as part of the continent, engulfing within the completion of outbuildings such as cellars, garages, and woodshed.

In others, you have to include them.

Next, we will analyze two important points to consider regarding storage and our home insurance:
Coverage limits and storage rooms in the home insurance

Most companies (not all), limit the capital of storage contents of a specific and / or a maximum% of total content, which in many cases is usually insufficient.

Even companies exist that limit a maximum intended.

The most substantial and covetable objects (for thieves), which is usually stored in the storage rooms are bicycles. In some cases, we have found customers whose bikes (stored in the attic) exceeded € 3,000.

If this is your case, and can not find a company that meets your needs assurance, we recommend that you keep your bicycle or another object of high value (jewels are excluded in storage) in your home instead of storage, or that you take out Bicycle insurance including theft coverage.

However, it must be said that there are companies, the few that do not apply any limit on storage, ie, if you have covered a content of 30,000 € in total in your home, apply the limit altogether, both for housing and for outbuildings.

Through our full comparison of home insurance, you can analyze the covered limit on storage, in 5 of the leading insurance companies in the sector.
Location of storage

The vast majority of home insurance only allows secure storage, as long as they are located in the same building / housing building the (in case of villas, within the private plot). Luckily there are companies that cover storage regardless of where they are located, obviously within reason, which is that are located at least in the same population. In these cases they allow policy reflect the exact location of storage.

many cases of people who assumed that his storage room located in another different from your home place, was covered by your home insurance are given, and when they have had an accident, such as a robbery, and have been notified to his company found a nasty surprise.

Life insurance: insurance of death and survival

Maybe you are trying Life Insurance, you've heard of 'Insurance of death' and 'survival insurance'. Both are used to define the two great families of policies that fall within the Life Insurance: Risk Life Insurance and Savings Insurance. Let's review the differences between these two kinds of policies.

or designation refers to that in the first case, the life insurance policy establishes compensation in case of death of the insured during the term of the contract, and the other insurance pays a benefit if the insured is still alive at maturity of the policy .

However, both options can be combined in different ways in the same policy and include coverages such as disability. There are also different types of policies survival arising in different ways to save, depending on the risk assumed by the client.

Nonlife or Life Insurance Risk

This kind of life policy guarantees insurance beneficiaries charging a capital or income in case of death of the insured. Thus, if the insured dies before the end of the contract, the beneficiaries designated in the policy receive payment of compensation, according to the conditions set out in the policy. However, if life insurance is due to expire and the insured lives, the contract is terminated without any consideration for the insurer.

Offers Life Insurance Risk among its options typically include various additional guarantees, that increase the protection of the insured, but also increase the price of the premium. The most common coverages found in Life Insurance Risk are:

    Disability: Besides the risk of death, including hedging policies provide disability compensation to the insured if they suffer some kind of disability or incapacity. In this regard, we note that there are several situations disability / incapacity that may be under the guarantee of our policy and it is important to know in detail under what circumstances our insurance protects us if we suffer this type of disaster.
    Accidents: In cases where Life Insurance incorporate this warranty, the insurer shall indemnify the insured with additional capital if the death was not due to natural causes but results from any accident. In these cases, we can also find policies that distinguish between traffic accidents and the rest, and even offering extra compensation if the accident occurred on the road.

Saving the Life Insurance: survival insurance

Such policies are usually called Life Insurance Savings and certainly are a way to ensure capital for the future that can supplement our retirement. There are different types of insurance savings, but what distinguishes this type of insurance other savings products is their beneficial tax treatment.

What defines this insurance is to guarantee beneficiaries or insured itself a benefit in the form of capital contribution or income, termination of the contract if the beneficiary is kept alive. Can be highlighted within this category, the following types:

    Insurance 'unit-linked': The policyholder assumes the investment risk of the contributions made, ie, the result of investment capital contributed to determining the life insurance.
    Guaranteed pension plans (PPA): These are individual insurance whose legal and fiscal regime is assimilated to pension plans. The main purpose of this insurance is to cover retirement, but also covers contingencies such as death, permanent disability, and dependence.
    individual systematic savings plans (PIAS): These are individual long-term savings in which the contractor receives an annual annuity if you live to a certain age established in the insurance contract. Premiums may not exceed the annual limit of 8,000 euros and the total amount of accumulated premiums should be less than 240,000 euros.
    Individual Insurance Long-Term Savings (SIALP): These are relatively new and are characterized by their special tax regime. These insurance companies offer a return on contributions should not exceed 5,000 euros per year, and investment can not be withdrawn before 5 years. Moreover, the perception is guaranteed at maturity of at least one capital equivalent to 85% of the contributions.
    Annuities: These are insurance in which the amount of the insured income is guaranteed for every year of his life, from a deadline. The rent can be tailored to family characteristics of the insured, and can be combined with additional benefits in case of death or return of contributions.

There are many options that offer such policies and that is essential to compare life insurance to find the policy that fits the needs of each client. In Turboseguros.com you can find the life insurance you need, responding to simple questionnaire proposed by the comparator.

Life Insurance are up to 35% more expensive if purchased from banks

Insurance companies offer better rates than banks when hiring a Life Risk Insurance. It's a trend that can be seen for some time and that a study by Global Actuarial INESE and confirmed once again using the technique of "mystery shopping" or mystery shopper. The result of this study confirms that the Life Insurance Risk banks are selling between 30% and 35% more expensive than the same policies sold by insurance companies and brokers.

Life Insurance insurers are significantly cheaper for customers of all ages and in all sections of capital. To reach this conclusion, we analyzed the offer Life Insurance Risk of 27 banks and insurance companies to potential customers that correspond to four profiles of a certain age and insured capital of 30,000 euros, 120,000 euros and 200,000 euros.

Life insurance can be 42% cheaper if purchased from insurers

The study authors argue that the differences between insurers and banks have increased in recent months, with reductions in some cases exceeding 42% analyzed. For example, with reference Life Insurance Risk, including coverage of death and permanent disability, and with an insured sum of 120,000 euros, the authors of the study indicate significant savings in premiums for customers who come to mediators and insurers .

Thus, a 30-year contract this policy with an insurance company can save 42.1% price premium. The bank will apply a fee of 269.22 euros compared to 155.77 euros of insurance. We talk about 113 euros apart.

We may seem little money although this figure rises up as the age of customers. Thus, if the potential insured is 40 and wants Life Insurance Risk above, you would find that a financial institution would charge EUR 443.24 premium for the policy compared to 289.87 euros premium that would in an insurance company. In this case, the savings is 153.37 euros, 34.6%.

The older it is the customer, the difference in euro becomes more important, so that a person of 50 years looking for a Risk Insurance Life to cover death and permanent disability and 120,000 euros in insurance, will not get the bank will recess 1,000 euros bonus. Specifically, this insurance has a premium of 1,113.17 euros in banks. The same insurance with the same customer, but in an insurance contract is offered for 747.45 euros. It is a cheaper price 365.72 euros, representing a discount of 32.9% compared to what they ask in the bank for the same policy.

Save on Life Insurance is in your hands: the bank can not force

Banks have long been selling Life Insurance, which is often associated with other financial products, such as mortgages. In exchange for better conditions on the loan, banks ask us debts, payroll and also the insurance. In addition, the bank may ask us to have a life insurance as a condition of the loan.

However, the bank can not force anyone to hire your Life Insurance, as consumers may contract the life insurance policy or any other outside the financial institution that gives us the mortgage, to benefit from better prices.

In this regard, we note that banks usually subsidize the mortgage terms for hiring their policies. If Life Insurance contracts outside the entity, the loan conditions are likely to worsen. Therefore, it is necessary to compare prices and calculate if you are interested that mortgage or which option is best for you.

In these situations, it is our comparator insurance online where you can hire a life insurance coverage you need at the most interesting price very useful. Also, you have the support of advisers Turboseguros.com, you may advise on the options that best fit your situation.

In the first case, the customer can choose between all specialists and medical centers that the company has an agreement, which offers a wide range of options. In the embodiment with copays the contractor pays a lower annual amount to be insured, but must pay a small amount each time you go to the doctor; in the second the price is higher but indifferent the number of visits made during the period of the insurance, whether one or more times a year.

As for the option of medical staff more reimbursement ... the difference is that the range of care professionals and medical centers that have closed an agreement with the insurer on duty, but also the rest of medical professionals is extended not only. We could define it as a response to the letter, which logically means for against greater premium payment by the customer. In this mode the company reimburses the insured a percentage of the doctor's bill when the professional chosen is not in the medical chart.

Of course, when we talk about health insurance we can not stop referring to dental, which in almost all cases is placed on the market as a separate health insurance. Dental expenses are usually high and so this specialty of medicine remains a world apart, although insurers try -in the extent possible make available customer a more affordable level economically average purchasing offers.

The preexistences

When referring to this type of insurance we must also talk about another factor to consider, that of pre-existing conditions. Insurance companies want, never better, good measure, and therefore requested to know the medical history of the client to perfection before signing the policy. Its aim is to know the previous pathologies of each applicant is obliged to hacérselas know the insurance, as the customer has the right to know perfectly, and no small print, this offering. An act of mutual transparency will be the best scenario before the company and client decide to start or not a path together, as in any self-respecting good relationship.

Hiring health insurance is carried out by a (usually) simple but complete contract between the client and the insurer. Fortunately internet has greatly facilitated things in recent times and stakeholders find it much easier than before -of know first hand and comfort-types and conditions of each health insurance, and compare them with those of other companies. Another positive factor that has recently consolidated is the flexibility or adaptability of insurance needs, circumstances and interests of policyholders; not only in terms of coverage, but with regard to the economic conditions of the contract, in finding companies reach more people by offering a more complete and personalized service.

Home insurance: its thousand coverages and curiosities

We all know what we can offer home insurance in general: what are its main coverage, what protects, what guarantees, what it is.

However these policies may include much more than we may think at first, because there are many thoughtless scathing coverage that can be effective depending on our personal, family and professional situation. Imagination, the needs of each and the money put limits.

Let us look to start some of these curious coverages that could offer home insurance. Did you know that, for example, can cover damage to cause any mischief or prank that children in our care (children, godchildren) may cause? And interestingly not only in the environment of our home, but beyond it. For example, in a shopping mall. Technically it called family liability coverage, and serves to cover damages caused to third parties for any component of a family. In that sense, there is also coverage concerning discomfort or harm our pets may cause to others, both at home and outside it.

To continue talking about children (and adolescents), unfortunately one of the sad frequent situations today is cyberbullying and violence through the network, given the proliferation of new technologies in the personal environment. Some insurance companies have created specific coverages related to these cases, helping to protect the insured and his family in cases of this kind.

Another service that more and more companies include in their offer is the DIY service, which makes available to the contractor the help of experts in repairs or installations. So we should not worry about assembling a cabinet, changing a plug or fix a broken handle, then we will have that available option included in the signed insurance. Some insurers also contemplate the possibility that need the service of other professionals in our house, creating computer support specific coverage or medical care. Cosmetic damage are also included within the offers put on the market the different companies.



Outside our home

The funny thing is that in addition many of the coverages included in home insurance are not confined to the domestic environment, but also encompass scenarios occurred in the exterior of our home. This is the case, for example, of a robbery happened on the street. Some policies include compensation for theft and even robbery in the middle of the street, and others provide travel assistance (cover travel expenses, hospitalization, location and rescue, compensation for lost luggage and a host of possibilities).

Home insurance can take over even the loss of refrigerated food, we have at home, as a result of an electrical fault; service erase fingerprint; Lock mobile devices that we lost or we have abducted; of the damage caused by foundations or landslide; the costs of demolition and debris removal ... The advice is always the same: well informed of what we can offer a certain home insurance and know your coverage before hiring. And if you want it easier to talk to your insurance agent and get you out of doubt and give good recommendations.



Peculiarities country

Putting our focus now on home insurance in the world, highlights many amazing circumstances. For example, the fact that in our country neighboring nations like France or Switzerland is mandatory recruitment. And not only in the case of buying homes, but in regard to rent. In the Helvetic country also hiring home insurance is not performed in some cantons through private companies, but by public bodies.

Two other countries firmly committed such policies (although they are not mandatory procurement) are the United States, with about 95% of its homes and Australia, with 85%. By the way, speaking of Americans, the most frequent causes of loss in homes are two: vandalism and theft on the one hand and on the other weather elements (wind, hail, floods).

On the opposite side Latin American countries like Mexico or Colombia, where virtually ensure the homes are located. Only 5% of Mexican homes are insured, while the percentage of Colombian who bet on covering their backs in that sense is around 1%.

Millionaires, of course, are a world apart, and also in insurance. Let's finish this post with a curiosity: it has become fashionable among some people of high purchasing level hiring an insurance paramilitary operation. This allows them, if necessary, in record time have the help of a team of professionals who put their expensive possessions safe in case of a theft or a natural disaster.

Read the conditions of the policy

Once reviewed its importance, we will focus focus on your connection with bouquet of medical insurance. Speaking generally we must note first that almost all insurance companies in this field (if not all) to include in its most basic insurance. But that does not mean that the offer is essentially the same in this sense, it is always advisable to carefully read the policy.

Generally the most widespread and basic tests (radiology, blood tests, CT scans ...) are included in the basic insurance we hire whatever the company, but the most advanced may not be included and part of group of extended coverage. Therefore, we must consider what to include our insurance and what not, especially without considering basic options of insurance or low price.

These options, such as medical staff without hospitalization or medical box copayment, as normal is that charged us a small fee for every test we perform (radiography, radiology, ultrasound, cardiologic or ophthalmologic examinations, clinical laboratory tests, electrocardiograms ... ) or a higher amount in the case of other tests: MRIs, colonoscopies, endoscopies, scans, computerized tomography (CT), eco-Dopplers in color ... it should also be noted that obviously there are other factors that influence final price to disburse by our insurance, such as age, work or personal health circumstances of each.

Death insurance: insurance family together

A united family is very important ... and not just in general terms, but also in regard to the insurance world family.

Insurance companies now offer many advantages to groups who bet on them and whose union leads to personal and collective benefits for both the policyholder and the rest of the insured.

Death insurance would not be an exception, as evidenced by the fact that today the name of the hiring policy in this area is usually the "burial insurance and family assistance." Traditionally, this area has a very important tradition in our country as it has hired a lot in Spain. Historically it has inherited from parents to children in a way as an inheritance, although there is now better access to information and greater variety of offers for citizens may have more tools to make better choices face.

In this sense, although everyone is free to choose their best option, the fact is that in general it is recommended that the components of a family bet by the same insurer. This results in a number of benefits that will try to provide details in this post.

Economic benefits

The biggest advantage, however obvious it may be, is to ensure that all components of a family can be insured beyond the contractor. At the end of the day, this is not the only one who can suffer the misfortune of death or who may benefit from other coverage offered by the insurance directly, and are usually offered to all family members who are insured .

The inclusion of a greater number of components as insured on the same policy with the same company often result in significant financial savings, but always depend on the conditions of each insurer. Typically, each of the insured paid in reference to your health and your date of birth (a younger, lower premium), but it is usual that the inclusion of more people conducive get discounts on the total premium to pay .

In this sense we must also point out that the inclusion of children as insured involves the payment of very small, almost insignificant, fees or even newborns or young age, are excluded from pay in the early years of his life. As you see it costs practically nothing to include them, and you have to think in smaller since they can benefit from the complementary advantages of this insurance.

On the other hand, with respect to the elderly, it is usual that from a certain age (65-70 years), companies do not ensure those people. When hiring a family insurance many of them allow the inclusion of people of the Third Age as insured, always, yes, there is at least someone younger in the household. The elderly, therefore, may have the option to be insured if they belong to a family that is committed to the same company for the whole family; It demonstrated that the family that stays together has more advantages.

Sometimes the benefit is obtained in other branches of the insurance company with which we have a contract. And it is that sometimes firms offer as a reward for insured families the opportunity to opt free of charge to the protection of other types of insurance brand (Auto, Home, etc.) or at least get significant discounts when hiring them.

It is also common the fact that there are specific coverages for example, the assistance trip- simply be paid for once and that change can benefit all members of the group who are insured. To pay the money corresponding to that particular coverage can benefit the whole family, not just the policyholder.

Comfort management

Comfort in management is one of the strengths of the decision to unify the insurance in a family (a common practice in couples who had previously engaged in a policy of deaths with different signatures and decide to opt for one of those brands once have had offspring). It is more comfortable having a single party, a single company to meet its conditions and one place to turn for management or information.

Finally, we must also note that this insurance can often be applied even if one of the members of the family residing abroad, but generally this protection has a limited temporal validity and must adapt the policy to the status of member of the family remains expatriate.
