Lifetime Coverage with Cash Value

Protection That Stays With You

Whole life insurance provides guaranteed coverage as long as premiums are paid. It builds cash value that grows tax deferred. Maple Leaf Insurance Agency helps clients from Rochelle to Milwaukee understand how whole life supports estate goals, final expenses, and long term planning.

Common Uses

Practical Reasons People Choose Whole Life

Plan for final expenses so family is not scrambling. Leave a legacy for children or a favorite charity. Balance a portfolio with a conservative asset that is not tied to the market. Smaller policies used for funeral costs are often called final expense insurance and are popular for seniors who want simple, permanent coverage.

How Maple Leaf Guides Decisions

Clear Illustrations and Honest Comparisons

We compare term life insurance and permanent options to fit your goals and budget. If cash value is important, we review riders like paid up additions or a cost of living increase. If you mainly need income replacement, a blend of term and whole life can make sense. Maple Leaf Insurance Agency walks through illustrations line by line so you understand how the policy performs over time.

Whole Life FAQs

Straight Talk About Permanent Coverage

  • Can I cash out a policy?

    You can surrender for the available cash value, but you give up future coverage.

  • Can I borrow from cash value?

    Yes. Loans reduce the death benefit until repaid. We will show how this works.

  • Are dividends guaranteed?

    No. Many carriers have long histories of paying, but dividends depend on company results.

  • What if I cannot pay later?

    Options can include using cash value, reducing the benefit, or switching to paid-up status.
