Question

Q has an ordinary straight whole life insurance policy for $100,000. Due to a change in circumstances, Q finds that there is now a need for more coverage, but the budget is not sufficient for another similar policy. What can Q do to satisfy the need for additional coverage at a low price?

Answer 1

Add a term rider

Step-by-step explanation:

To satisfy the need for additional coverage at a low price the Q can add a term life insurance rider.

The addition of a term rider will allow Q for the additional coverage to be put into place at an affordable price, without having to acquire another policy.

As term rider is a fixed benefit policy thus, ordinary straight whole life will not allow an increase in face amount.
